Dear Aunt Evelyn and family,
When I remember our dear Evelyn I can not help but remember her along with my mom and Aunt Melanie and Aunt Jessie. They were different personalities but shared a common old time trait of devoutness to God and family. The emblem of an age old piety that makes humanity good, fresh, strong and everlasting.
I specifically think of Aunt Evelyn as a most dutiful soul. Someone who bore their cross in life and tolerated the inevitable difficulties we are all forced to face in our sojourn though this world. A person who is steady, accepts their place in society and manages to get their job done while enjoying and sharing whatever God has given them.
I see such people in a simple but remarkable way. A sort of saintliness yet too much like the common man to be canonized. Someone who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life while accepting the pains of destiny and fate in a realistic and sobering mode. Evelyn seemed to epitomize this type of person to me.
Certainly she is with her Savior and living and loving in His grace. I only hope she remembers us a little and begs a blessing from All Mighty God to help us though life with the same determination and goodness as she.
sincerely,
Johnny Berg and family
