I am so sorry for your loss. Delbert and I are thinking of your family. I met your mother a few times and she was quite the character. She will surely be missed. RIP Miss Evelyn.

I am so sorry for your lose. I have known Evelyn for over 50 years. She was my neighbor. I have many memories of her and remember some stories she told me. Loved her feistiness. I laughed a lot when I was around her. She loved her doll collection and her little fur babies she had through the years. She even adopted my birds. She will be missed dearly.

I came into this family 15 years ago. I have a few great memories about Evelyn. 1 being my favorite when she told me that she knew I was having a boy and why she knew it was a boy.
