EMMA
Sadly, another member of the EVANKO family, left us. On June 29, my MOM (Aunt Emma) passed away. I can't believe how empty it feels. There is certainly a void in the LUBAS family. I am so glad to have 2 wonderful daughters and 4 beautiful grandchildren to help me. MOM really loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren. I love you MOM and miss our trips to Panera bread.Saturday, April 2, 2011
