Miss Evelyn was truly a sweet beautiful southern Lady. She treated me with kindness and always welcome me to her home. Her daughter was one of my best friends in high school and a reflection of her Mama. I wish I could have seen you one more time, but I'll see you again one day. With deepest sympathy and my love.
