Although I have always lived far from the family, Evelyn would be so warm, so welcoming, full of joy and a true Christian spirit. She bridged all time with making the moment important and shared her joy of life and love for family. I cherish the memory of her and send my love and condolences to the family and all of her friends that will miss her.
Love, Janet Charlton (daughter of Mary Belton)
