To Evelyn's Family:
I'm so sorry for your loss. One thing I remember most about Evelyn was her smile. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and an uplifting spirit to share with others. She was a blessing to all who knew her. God bless you all with His peace and comfort.

Evelyn was one of the sweetest and dearest ladies I have every known. We used to sing in the choir together at Jahnke Road Baptist Church. She always had a glad heart and upbeat spirit. I loved our chats every Wednesday night when we met to rehearse for the choir. I will truly miss her... Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. In Christian Love, Debbie and Al Griner
