We are sorry to hear of the loss of Evelynn. The time we spent with her in Missouri was treasured. My father and her took care of each other and were always kind to one another. Our prayers are with her family.

Aunt Evelynn was a very special person who will be missed by many. I am so glad my mother and I got to visit with her earlier this year. We mourn her passing but know that she is safe in the arms of God. Rest in peace, Aunt Evelynn.
