My sincerest condolences to the entire Martinez family on Evelyn's passing. Though years and distance have separated us, Donnie came into Sandy's life in high school; I had the opportunity to be a guest "by default" at the home of Evelyn and Tilo. I was always welcomed and treated warmly. It is wonderful that Evelyn was able to spend her years in the home where she raised her family and found joy. It is also a blessing that she passed so peacefully! May she rest in peace with her beloved Tilo. ❤️
