    Evelyn will be missed here at Westmont Care Center. She will finally be where she has wanted to be for years, with her husband.

    So sorry for your loss. Evelyn was a good friend, she will be missed. Really got to know her when Mom was in room next to her. I always went to see Evelyn when I needed to talk. Sending prayers to all her family..
