Evie was the sweetest soul you could ever imagine. We didn’t see each other often but when we did it was like we with her yesterday. You were part of her family. We will miss her love of life, fishing, and her puppies. She is in my memory from as far back as I can remember. We stayed with her family back when coming back from Texas. I was in 2nd grade and we were instantly part of the family. She always made me (Tom) and our family special. Her and Susan, my sister, were like 2 peas in a pod those days. Now they will be angels together again. Thanks Jimmy for making her life so special. God bless all her family during this difficult time. We love you all!
So sorry for your loss. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers
