Dear Bob, Jim, Paula, and families. you were so fortunate to have such an amazing mom. She truly was a wonderful woman who touched the lives of many. We were lucky enough to get to know her as young children. Our families were brought together through an Ottawa County Co-Operative Extention program. Our lives have been dovetailed ever since. The program was created to educate young mothers on how to manage and run a household but it evolved into the group we now know as "The Gad-Abouts." The friendships formed through it changed all our lives for the better. Today, we pause to remember how your Mom's face would brighten when she would speak of the ladies who gathered together over the years for crafts, support, and friendship. We understand that Evelyn was a member for over 70 years. When we think of her, we think of the fun times, and her friendly, dynamic, and classy demeanor. With love, Dick and Dori
