Oh, such a sweet lady! When I think of Grandma Everhart, I remember her most of all showing my sisters and I her amazing flowers and plants as we listened to all sorts of snippets of wisdom. She was truly attempting to make us feel at "home". Well, now she's truly Home, lucky her. Oma, I'm praying for you and the rest of your family.

As I reflect on Aunt Addie I remember her at various family functions over the years. As a child through my adult years she would always take the time to talk to me, never about herself, but she was interested in me!
She cared for and nutured her children, her garden, and all the people she met.
After all this caring and sharing her love like raindrops over 100 years, she must have created a fine garden of people standing tall and strong basking in the warmth of her spirit.
She has touched me and made me a better person to care for the garden of my life.
May the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ provide comfort to her family, always.

God blessed Aunt Addie with a century on His wonderful earth. Now she is blessed to join Him and other loved ones for eternity. I will remember Aunt Addie as a very gentle but strong lady who enjoyed life always. She was always loving and kind. She was a true role model for all her family.
May God give her family the strength to endure.

My deepest sympathy to Addie's family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Addie was a wonderful gardener and I know she has many ribbons from winners in vegetables at the KY. State Fair. She was so generous in giving away her plants and vegetables. Every year when the Hosteas come up in my yard ,I will remember her gifts to me. Addie, as you look down upon us from heaven, I hope you will remember me and your many friends from Holy Trinity. Goodbye friend I love you and will miss your wonderful smile. You were truly a beautiful person, inside and and out. Marianne Cooper
