Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I had the pleasure of working for Evelyn and Art at 23rd Street Taco Grande in Lawrence KS. They were wonderful people. Kept in touch with her for several years after the Lawrence stores closed because I always thought so highly of her and didn't want to lose contact...she ran across my mind a couple of weeks ago...for the first time in quite a while ...hoping to get in contact with her again.... My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family...she may be gone physically..but nothing can take away the memories you'll always have in your .
