I am so sorry to hear about Evelyn's passing. I lost my mom in Nov. I worked at Bethel Ridge from July of 2003 to June of 2004 and your mom was my biggest sweetheart. I loved Evelyn with ALL of my heart. I loved all of the ladies at Bethel Ridge but she was my favorite. I know she is in heaven. She was a beautiful lady inside and out and I will cherish all of my memories of her. May God hold everyone close and comfort them.

Dear Kay,
I, as you know, never met your mother but I have been fortunate to meet you. You are surely an image of her. Therefore, it is easy for me to be certain her loss is of great consequence. Please accept heart felt condolences from our family.

Kay, Velma and Ronnie- Gloria emailed us yesterday about your Mama, and the three of us here are so sad to hear about her passing. We knew and loved her all these years. What a "fun" lady, with always a gleam in her eye! Mama Hill considered Evelyn her dearest and closest friend for as many years as we can remember.

We wish we could have been at Evelyn's service today, but found we were unable to make the journey.

Please come to see us, we would love remembering all those years we grew up together, and Velma...I believe you were FOUR when you were the adorable flower girl in our wedding...so we know how many years have passed since we were all living in Buchanan!

Roy and Mom both join me in sending our sincere condolences to you and your whole family. Wish we could have visited with each of you today. Please remember us to Richard and Paige, as well.
With our love and deepest sympathy,

Kay,

I interned with you at WDBJ quite a few years ago. You had a profound influence on my life since I decided then that I wanted to choose promotions as my career. I recently learned that Velvet is your niece (she was my first intern here 9 years ago)! I am so sorry to learn about the loss of your Mom. I will keep you in my prayers.
