"Evelyn was not just my Grandma she was a "Mom," "Counselor," "Nurse" "Ruler" and most definitely a strong believer in no horseplaying in the house. One summer in the 60's when Evelyn sent her three Tichota boys outside due to their burning tracks in her carpets, she noticed a little later on that those three boys were marching and protesting with homemade picket signs in front of her kitchen window! Needless to say this event will always be a shared memory, that I have been blessed to have been a participant in and shared with her. We Love You Grandma and the one thing I learned from you is that "It will all come out in the wash""
