I met this precious woman at a mutual hair salon. Many times our appts. would be back to back and our conversations were filled with mutual sharing of our Lord and our family.
I was drawn to Evelyn because of her inviting nature, smile and my curiosity regarding her spunk and firecracker nature. She was a sweet and much loved reminder of my own mom. She touched my life with blessings and I smile when I think of her.
Peace, love and our Heavenly Father's presence going forward.
