Ray,Frank,Shirley,Pam,Chris, Don and I will miss Evelyn very much.Ray stood up for us at our wedding 50 yrs. ago and Eve was a server at our wedding. We enjoyed going out to eat with them and when they had nothing really planned on some holidays we invited them and they always showed up. I really enjoyed chatting with Eve on the phone. I wish we could have spent more time with her.We attended her 80th bday and she was so excited about getting her new motorized wheelchair. With each new tomorrow may your memories grow sweeter as your sorrow fades away.May God surround all of you during this time of sorrow. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless all of you, till we meet again.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Evelyns friends and family. Even though I didn't know her for very long, she held a very special place in my heart. She used to call me her "dance partner" on the long road to recovery. We talked alot about her family, and god, how she loved them! We laughed till we cried, and cried till we laughed so hard, our stomach hurt. They say god brings people in your life for a reason. I now believe that Evelyn is one awesome angel in someones life who needs her. Till we may meet once again my friend, may god wrap you in his comfort, and may you laugh till you cry. You will be deeply missed here, and know I love you.
Laurels Of Galesburg is now that much better for knowing you.

Big Gram, Brock, and Carson
