Al and family-I have been to NY to visit family and am sorry to hear of Evelyn's passing. She is at peace with the Lord and will now be pain free. May the Lord comfort you and your family in the days ahead. I will call later. We have many precious memories of Green Hill Bapist and even memories of our conversations whenever I could catch you when we visit Ray in Knoxville. Love Betty and Doc.
