Laura, Sharon, Kenny, Ronnie-
I was so very sorry to hear about Evelyn's passing. Many of my best childhood memories are the ones when our family spent time with your family. Your Mom was a terrific person. Although I had not seen her for a long time, knowing that I never will again makes me sad. Remember the good times. I am praying that God will ease your pain and bring you the comfort that only He can bring. Love and prayers to all of you. Cindy (Michener) Emerine
