    I have had many pleasant conversations with Evelyn over the years. Henoch was an employee of Charles Fradin, now Horizon Beverage RI. She was just telling me a couple of months ago of her place at Greeenwich Farms. My deepest system to the family.
    A lovely lady.

    Howard; I was looking at another obit and saw your Mother’s. My condolences to you, Betsy, Arthur and family. God bless Mom, 97 and certainly led a diverse and interesting life. May she rest in peace and may memories of all those better times carry the day.
