Dearest Milo & Boys, I’m so happy that I got to see and visit with Evelyn one last time, last fall She was like a second “mom” to me during my high school years and I will always think of her and remember her fondly. When ever I am in need of a happy memory my thoughts take me right back to Advent Road and the farm, motorcycle rides, proms, birthdays, milking cows and on and on! Myron, Aren, Mike & Leif – you were your mother’s pride and joy and my thoughts are with you today. Myron, I feel blessed that a small part of my life was shared with you and your family, and I thank you! I will miss Evelyn very much and every December 23rd (our shared birth date) she will be thought of in Pennsylvania.
With deepest sympathy and love, Bridget

Dear Milo, Myron, Aren, Mike, and Leif,
I just found this website by chance and wanted to let you all know that you’ve been in my thoughts and prayers. I have VERY fond memories of walking down to your place and hanging out together. I remember sitting in the kitchen watching your Mom cook. I remember her laugh and I still smile just thinking about it. I have always considered you guys as an extended part of the family and Evie will be greatly missed.
Love,
Jodi
