Dearest Evelyn, I would say I miss you, but in truth I never have. I carry the image of your soft, kind, vital self in my mind and in my heart. Many years have passed since the times we shared on the Goshen chicken farm—they were too few, but are well remembered. Since then, I would marvel at the steadfastness and easy permanence of you and Anson on those infrequent times when our paths would cross. So, I’m not sad today, but I am grateful for the opportunity to love and be loved by you, always
Our thoughts and prayers are with your extensive extended family.
Love, Helen and Gary Deline
