Evelyn was a wonderful, kind, loving, dear soul with a heart of gold. She was my fathers favorite cousin. Evelyn was a blessing and touched the hearts of so many people. She will always be remembered by family and loved ones. It is a very sad loss words cannot express. I will miss my very dear cousin Evelyn very much. May her very devoted, beloved husband Hank be comforted knowing that Evelyn is with God and family who went before her including her dear doggies. For dear Evie I leave these words of reassurance that hold true to the fact Evelyn has moved on to spend eternity with God: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23. "Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus". Holy Mary mother of God, pray for Evelyn. I will hugely miss you Evelyn and light a candle for you. God Bless You always and Peace of God be with you always.
