Hey Daddy,
It's been a year already. Time really flys by. It's still hard to accept you're gone. I think about you all the time. Alexis and Africa are doing well. Their 19 and 8. I wish you had the opportunity to meet them, you would have loved them. And I know they would have loved you too. I miss you Daddy and love you very much.

Your daugther,
Stephanie

To the Evans family, sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his LOVE, PEACE, and STRENGTH in this time of sorrow. Stephanie your daughters will get to meet their grandfather as you say it will be through and family members, friends, and pictures. It's not for us to say when GOD wants us to come home, we are but borrowed to our family and friends. And it does make it hard for children to understand of the passing of a loved one. God didn't leave you with un answered ?'s we just have to ask for clarity and listen to his reason. I know it's hard because although it's been 10yrs for me sometimes it's hard as an adult. What helped me once the sorrow started to ease(and that wasn't till 2yrs later) that I thanked GOD he didn't take my mom at an early age for all of us. She got to see her 3 kids grow up and two of her kids gave her grandkids, and she was able to see her two great grandchildren be born. She would have been 73 that year that GOD took her home. And there is alot of unanswered ?'s as an adult cause you get mad at GOD cause you didn't get to say goodbye, you didn't get to say sorry for stupid stuff that they probably don't even member. You can ask for forgiveness but you don't get to hear what you need to hear for closure, and that is they forgave you. Just take it one day at a time and eventually you start to heal. May he R.I.P <3

Hey Daddy,
It's me Stephanie B.K.A (Long Distance/Oldsmobile)(smile)
I've been struggling with questions as to why my prayers weren't answered for me to spend time with you. It had been so long since we seen each other. And for you to meet your granddaughters Alexis and Africa. They are great kids. It really bothers me because, I love you so much and missed you a lot. I would have given anything to be able to hug you and be in your presence. Only God knows. I am at peace knowing that you are with family and in no more pain. Africa was sad because she never got a chance to meet you. I told her that I was sorry, but she will get to know you through family. We all have a part of you in us that we can share. I'll be talking to you soon.

Love you always and forever,
your youngest baby girl,
Stephanie

Mr. Evans,

I know you don't know me however I have had the pleasure of praying for you and Karen over the past 6 months. I enjoy working with Karen helping her raise money for Oak Grove High School! She is a wonderful person and I'm sure she made you real proud! I know that you'll be missed here however praise God that you are no longer in pain, there are no tears in heaven just celebrating and worshipping Jesus! Party and pray for us till we get there!

Untill we meet one day in heaven,

Mr E,
Do you remember how we met? I came to your door one day mad & upset. You let me in & as was your as was your nature listened (albeit with a snicker) & with a joke & a smile you made things all better.
You have been a positive influence in my life. At times you were my father often giving advice, some of which I wanted to hear but most of which I didn't, (those were the times I listened the most). Other times you were a grandfather to my girls (by the way, they still call you the pretty fish man). I can't imagine having grown up without you in my life & I am grateful that you have allowed to be a part your family. I will never forget the love & kindness you've given me & I know you are resting where no shadows fall in peacefulness you await us all.

You are loved & missed.

Mr E,
Do you remember how we met? I came to your door mad & upset seeking your help & as was your nature with a joke & a smile you made things all better. You've always been a positive influence in my life. You always had wonderful advice & while it wasn't always what I wanted to hear it came from you & so meant everything. At times you have been my father & others a grandfather to my children ( by the way they still call you the pretty fish man) & I will always be grateful to & your family for allowing me to be a part of yours.
I know you are resting where no shadow falls & in peacefulness you await us all. God will link the broken chain when one by one we meet again.

Mr E you are greatly loved and deeply missed.

Hey Dad,
I'm so glad that I was able to spend so much time with you these last five months. I hate that you're gone but I'm glad that you're no longer in pain.
I know that Granny, Grand dad, Aunt Dorothy, Aunt Edie and Uncle Charlie came for you so now you guys are together again.
I love and miss you!
