To my dear friends Ed, Sandra and Akela, I know how much Grams met to all of you, it's never easy to find the right words for condolences when there is such a void in your life with her gone. She was a special lady, even though I had only met her a few times, I knew she was special because of the love you all had for her, I was always so impressed by the way you all tended to her needs, especially Ed. It was heart warming! My sympathy also goes to Cammie and Corey, I know she was such a big part of your lifes as well. She will be missed, but find comfort in knowing she is where she wants to be, next to Bob. Love to all, your friend,

I'm incredibly grateful for my time with Grandma. I feel fortunate to have even met her. I love her and miss her every day.
With all my heart, Jennifer

I'm so glad I got to meet Evelyn recently. I'm so sorry we missed having our "grandma's day" together. I think we were both looking forward to that. My granddaughter Jennifer thought so much of her. God bless and rest in peace.

Though I didn't know Grams real well, I knew her enough to know that she was an amazing person, my sister Sandra would tell me all of The wonderful caring things she did for her. I Thank her from the bottom of my heart for being so kind to my sister Sandra  and Niece Akela.

My sympathy and love is with you in this difficult time.  Evelyn and I got to know each other a little better in the few months prior to her going to heaven.  She always talked such nice thoughts of each and everyone of you.  She was very pleasant to talk to and very welcoming.  I will miss the chats that we could have, but will always remember her and the ones we had. 

Love Joyce Whittman.

My dearest Grams, Oh how I miss you sooo much!!.  I miss our daily rides past the Memorial for The Trout Submarine that sunk with Uncle Johnny.  You would say Hi uncle Johnny love you, then on we went down the coast to watch the beautiful ocean, you always loved the clouds.  To Dairy Queen for your Onion rings.  I miss you everyday and everything reminds me of you.  I wish I could have you back but that would be selfish.  You meant the world to me and I love you so very much. Words cannot express the love I have for you and thank you for what you & gramps  did for Donnie and I, where would we have been if not for the two of you.  You were always kind with a little fistyness in you.  There are so many beautiful and wonderful things that you and gramps provided for myself, Donnie, Akela, Corey, Cammie, Linda, Tara and I am sure I missed a few.  Mostly your love and understanding.  You have been an angel sent to us from heaven, and now your the angel in heaven.  Please watch over Cheyenne and let Jo Ann, Donnie, Gramps and Cheyenne know that we love them and miss them and you too, you all will never be forgotten and you will always be in our hearts.   My tears are yet to cease, however, I know that you are happy with Gramps.  Rest in peace my dear mother.

Love your "Rock"  Eddie

My best memory of Auntie Evelyn was at Linda's wedding.  She and my Dad danced and danced and danced.  When my Mom passed in ‘97 Auntie Evelyn took up a conversation with me.  She filled a void and I am grateful.  Each Thursday around 4pm on my way home from work I got to hear about growing up in Iowa, things she did with her sisters and yes that story over and over again about how she met the love of her life on a train.  We often quipped ‘we should have started this sooner' and she would say ‘lesson learned'.  
Auntie Evelyn ~ your direction is clear, your path well lit; certainly not one to forget – we will miss you.

Ed, Corey, Cammie, Louie, Betty, Linda,and  Tara I   am so sorry for thee loss of Grams  i know we will all loved her and will miss her her very much.  She is with Gramps, Jo Ann, Donnie and Cheyenne..  They are all happy and pain free in heaven.  Grams was a rearkable r woman and I hope that we all could be somewhat like her.  Just remember what she said.  I'm alright and everything will be ok.  And her favorite Think happy thoughts and happy things will come.  Got to believe it.  MAY SHE BE HAPPY AND AT PEACE WITH THE LOVe OF HER LIFE "GRAMPS"

Linda, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing.  There is comfort in knowing that she is once again with you dad.  But I know that only time eases the pain of the loss of a loved one.  Much love to you, Linda.
