Kim, I just wanted to send my deepest sympathy for your loss. I don't believe I ever had the honor to meet you or Bobby, but I was a long-time friend of his mother, Evelyn. I miss our lovely visits. Take care. May God speed!

Kim, we are so deeply sorry for your loss and all you have had to endure in the last months. My husband, Johnny grew up knowing and loving Evelyn since chilhood, cutting her yard for so many years growing up on Front Ave, visiting her during his fishing adventures nearby. I had the pleasure of getting to know her over years ago. What a true blessing she was to our lives. She had a "special" love for our son, Tyler who is now 13. He thought of her as his "grandma Evelyn". Although we never met you or Bobby, we felt like we knew you b/c of the fondness as Evelyn spoke of you both. We are so sorry for your loss, and we'll be praying and keeping you in our thoughts. May God give you the strength to carry on. Much love!
Johnny, Tracy & Tyler Lawrence
