We will always remember the wonderful times spent with Evelyn and Paul. Evelyn was my Columbia classmate, my teaching colleague and very dear friend. When I think of her, I see her smiling. It was her way . Our Love to Paul, Arlene Hurwitz Castells and Sal Castells.

It was such an honor to have been allowed to take care of Mrs. Kersten. She was a delightful lady, loved by so many in our community. Until the very end, she was concerned for her husband's needs, encouraging him to eat his meals and get enough sleep. They were always seen holding hands and talking sweetly to each other. As we say here, 'they were soul mates.' Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Kersten, his sister and her husband, what a delightful and supportive family. Mrs. Kersten will be missed by her Marshes of Skidaway Island family.
