Everett had one of those personalities that will certainly missed. He was always upbeat, positive and flashed a winning smile. I find his passing a complete shock; however, knowing him and his relationship with the Lord, he is certainly at peace with our Saviour Jesus Christ. God bless you Angela, you are surrounded by support and love. Wendell
