Don. Our prayers are for your strength for today and the days ahead. I remember the long weeks after daddy's funeral helping mom go through the legal steps required. Grieving went on and on. So just know that I am praying for you as you carry on. I am grateful for your mom, dad and you as you are stars in a crown of treasured memories. Peace be to you and your family through Jesus the LORD.

Don -- Evelyn is a great lady and will be remembered most fondly. I remember many times being at your house with her and her poodles. how she loved them. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed our phone conversation and remembering the times of our youth remembering her and Elmer and how much we all enjoyed being together. both Evelyn and Elmer were great examples of a loving family that shared God's love in many ways. Both of them will be remembered.
