Evelyn,I know you will be missed by so many. You were always a beautiful lady but far more important was that you were a lady of prayer. Your battle is over and there will be no more tears or pain. You have arrived but I can only imagine. Jan Grose

I will always remember Evelyn on her porch sweeping every morning.
We were neighbors for a few years and she was about tidiness around her house. I always loved the smile she would give to you when she would look up and she you coming up the walk. Very good memories of her and the family! Love and Prayers to all of you! Cathy (Harmon) Gongwer
