To the family of my friend Evelyn: She was such a light and calming presence for me during the time we worked together at wal-mart. God truely sent her to be my Angel when days were tough for me! Even as I visited her at home, she was always positive and showed amazing courage and strength even though I know she was in great pain. Im blessed that I had the oppertunity to get to know Evelyn and have quality talks with her! My sympathies and deepest prayers from my heart goes to all of the family! I know I'll see Evelyn in Heaven in the future! May God bless you all - Larry Marshall
