We were so saddened to hear the news of your grandmothers passing, Cody. She was such a lovely lady. She was very proud of her family and spoke so fondly of her grandchildren. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow. The Hedgpeth family

I have countless memories of Aunt Evelyn (and Uncle Wilmer too!). The trips to Douglas Mart, the perms she and my mom used to give each other, and the tour of plants in her house every time we visited. Aunt Evelyn made the best fried chicken too. Too many memories to write. I miss you so much already. So glad you were a part of my life for so long. I love you!

We loved seeing Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Wilmer and family on our visits to the St. Louis area with our boys over the years. Many wonderful holiday dinners and desserts! You're in our thoughts. Scott, Meg, Ed, John, Lauren and Carl
