Heaven has gained another Angel and I known there is a joyous reunion in Heaven. Kathy, Vicki, and Jackie – I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. My heart goes out to you all and I know your Momma will be missed by many.
I had a recent visit to Evelyn’s house before her passing and it brought back memories of when I was a small child and wondered where Evelyn and Harold put all of us youngin’s in their small, humble, home when we would visit from Florida. They managed and we had a good times.
I’m sorry I didn’t get to be there for the services, but please know that my heart, thoughts, and prayers are with each of you.
Also from Ann and Bubba Stewart.
Much Love,
Lonette
