Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.  Evelyn was a special person and her singing and white elephant sales will be happy memories on Edisto.  I have a winter purse  she painted for me to remind me of her friendship.

I was out of town when your mother passed away, Sandy, and I regret that I was not able to call on you at the time.  Please accept my condolences now.  You and Jane have both been in my thoughts and prayers.
