Hi Gwen and family, I have been a friend of your mother, and most of your family since elementary school when we first moved to Capron. Everlean was always a sweetheart of a person, always during what ever she could for others. I talked with Everlean about two weeks ago, she had just returned home from your house. We shared so much. She told me that she was going to start cooking for that Sunday's Homecoming service at church. She was always faithful to God in all she did.
I will truly miss her, but I know that God has everything in control now. She would want you and the family to keep your hands in His hands and everything will be alright. Everlean is with the Lord and she want you to trust Him as she did.
I am just a phone call away. My phone # is: 804-516-5023 (Cell) and 257-5822 (work).
Loving,

As your classmate and friend, I am sadden to hear of the passing of your mom. I was so excited to see and to talk with Ms. Everlean last August for a long time. She still had that brillant smile and heartwarming embrace.
