Evon was a wonderful neighbor whom I had the pleasure of knowing for several years. She particularly enjoyed our Ruby Red Grapefruit. I will miss her and Calvin's kind words and company and I'll note that I was glad to help them out with a number of problems with their computers and tv's. I look forward to re-uniting with her and all my friends and family in Heaven, and may God grant His peace the world can't bring to all those who are sharing in her loss. Mike & Jane Casey
