Auntie Ev was such a lovely lady, with a big smile and a kind heart. Ed has so many fond memories of growing up living next door to her and of many great times spent with the whole family, and Laurie has always been grateful for her kindnesses from the first time they met and for times spent with her whole family as well.
We were both so sorry to hear of her passing. Sending loving thoughts, sympathy, and virtual hugs to the Willis family.
Love, Laurie and Ed Willis
