  • Leslie Zielinski

    My heart goes out to The Evelsizer Family at the loss of Marti.

    I worked in the Pittsburgh office with her and she was a bright star in the office and she was always conscious of the work she was doing and always wanted to make sure that everything was done perfectly.

    She was also my supervisor for awhile and she stepped up to ensure that I was okay when handling my work assignments.

    I thank her for her diligence and continued support for the work that she did.

    When she decided to retire I knew that the office had lost a great agent and would have left a void that needed to be replaced .

  • James V Uncapher

    My heart breaks for you in the passing of your wife and mother. She was such a loving and caring woman. She always treated me well, with respect, and always thanked me. Especially when trying to get Mark out of the office on time on Fridays for pizza night.

    Love you All,

    Jim Uncapher
