    Eve,
    You were a very special and caring person and I am really going to miss you.
    I will miss most our drives from Medway to Putnam and Putnam to Medway.
    We made that trip so many times and it was always something I truly enjoyed. Just you and I. Sometimes we talked a lot and sometimes we talked very little.
    Even on those days when the last thing I wanted to do was drive to or from Putnam you always made the trip fun.
    I will also never forget all of the fun we had as an extended family on vacations. We did that a lot.
    The most memorable for me was when we all crammed into that tiny Fort Wilderness cabin in Disney World. All 6 of us in a cabin the size of a big shed for 5 days.
    I will miss those trips but the memories will be with me forever.
    Good bye.
    Jim

    Dear family,
    It is so sad to read that Ms. Hicks has passed away. May your memories of her as well as a hope of being reunited one day – John 5:28,29 – bring you the peace and comfort you need at this time.

    Gary, Susan, Donald, Stephen, and all Evelyn’s family, We were so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a sweet person and a good mother and grandmother. Although, we haven’t seen Evelyn in recent years, I would usually give her a call on Nov. 1 and tease her about being a day older than me. Can’t believe she’s gone. Know you all have wonderful memories — cherish them. Please accept our sympathy. May God grant you comfort.
