I want to extend my sympathy to the Kijovsky and Dildine families for your loss. Mary Evelyn was a special woman and such a part of my mother’s and father’s lives through the years. She was a wonderful friend and companion to my mother and she and Bill were so close to my parents and part of our family. She was always so glad to see me with a smile on her face. She filled many roles in her life as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She had a wonderful life and will be missed by all of us. Our thoughts are will you and I pray she will rest in peace with the Lord.
