Sharing a happy memory instead of feeling sad today. Loved spending the night as a kid. Always involved a trip to the toy store, even though Keith and I spent the evening jumping on the beds, not wanting to sleep. MeMe always told my parents we were good. Her hugs were the best.

Evelyn was one of the sweetest women we have known. She shared her house with us when we were between homes. She shared her home with Jim and his mother for many years. We were happy to share many holidays with her and the family. Kathy and Jim Carroll.

Though we only met twice, we've relished the "motherly" antidotes that our friend, Rick, shared with us as he grew up. Our hearts and thoughts are with Rick and family.

Mrs Martin,
Although I never knew you, I think you must have been a pretty great woman because you raised a pretty great son who loved you dearly. Here's hoping that you meet my dad in heaven and have long fun talks about hard headed children. Connie Bowling

Evelyn was a sweetheart of a Woman. I never saw her get mad. I will miss sending her a Christmas Card every year. She was one of a kind for sure.
