To the Nefsky Family. We were very sorry to hear of Evelyn's passing. Evelyn and your late father Jack were a part of our family's lives since we were little. They were as close to our parents as if they were members of the family. I have memories of Evelyn playing Mahjong in the kitchen at our house when we were growing up.
