Beth: So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Your daddy was my Mother's first cousin and my mother was Annie Mae Evington Barger from Salisbury, NC. I'm sure you had heard much about these Evington cousin's. They sure did love your mom and dad. You and your family are in our prayers for God to give you peace and comfort during the difficult days ahead.

I worked with Eloise for about 18 years at Magnolia Manor, Inman. She was truly a wonderful, compassionate nurse. I have so many wonderful memories. Some funny, some sad because of the nature of our work. I will never forget her. Heaven has an angel like no other now. Rest in peace my dear friend.
