My deepest sympathy to the family of Evon W. King. Please know that your mother was a very unique person. A dedicated parent and a very hard worker. Meeting her in 2006 was the highlight of my visit to the Hampton Roads area. She was more than gracious to my mother and I. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Know that "God is holding her in his heart".
Respectfully Yours,

There are no words of sympathy that will take away the pain, but the memories left behind of Evon will always remain. May the grief her family share be diminished knowing that we all at Hampton Roads Transits also share the grief of losing a tremendous friend. The Ortiz Family

A human life is a story told by God,
and when we lose someone we love,
it seems that time stands still.
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss.
May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead,
so Lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about.
May GOD and those around you help you through the days ahead.
