Gwen and Tony,
May the Lord continue to watch over you (Gwen, Tony). Know that He is God Almighty and never makes a mistake, but rest assure that Val is resting in the bosom of God Almighty. As family friends are passed down from generations, Val, my parents (Delores and Ira Evans) and the late Mrs. Defories Holt (all of Brenham, TX) were High School graduates and were very close friends. The friendship and love remains today.
Gwen and Tony, as kids, we were blessed to have summers and holidays memories of our grandparents and parents in Brenham, Texas. When a person has an impact on our lives, you cherish those memories. Memories are food for the soul that will nourish our bodies to keep us pressing on the upward way.

With our deepest sympathy and sincere prayers,

Ira and Delores Evans, Sr.– Brenham, TX
Ira Evans Jr. – Angleton, Texas
William Evans – Williamsburg, VA
Betty Evans – Angleton, Texas
Joy Evans – Davis – Missouri City, Texas

My mother was an exceptional human being. She taught me more things by example than words. She was strong, independent, loving,level-headed,tender and wise. She will forever be in my heart and mind and I am going to try to be the same kind of mother,grandmother and someday great-grandmother she was. God bless.
