Gina Anderson says
Evelyn was a wonderful woman whom I met at my church. Every service Evelyn came to I would ask her how she was doing & she would smile and tell me she was doing great. She never said anything negative when talking with her. God has a new angel in heaven & I will miss her.

I am so glad I was able to sit with your mom and Darlene at Jeanne and David’s Anniversary. I was able to have a nice visit with her. Whenever I was around her, she was always jovial and seemed so content. I’ve always thought of her often and will remember her. You have my sympathy David and the rest of the family. You are in my prayers
