Aunt Evelyn ~ Although I did not see you that often, you were a beautiful women, inside and out. I remember you sang "Amazing Grace", at my sister Tracy Wheeler's funeral in 1987. What a beautiful voice that we will never forger. And now you will join the family in Heaven and we shall all see you again one day. I hope God holds the family close and the angels wipe the tears from all of your eyes. I will be praying and thinking about all of you! God Bless you and enjoy your wonderful journey ahead Evelyn, even though the family will mourn for you on earth. Love to ALL of you!!

Evelyn was a sweet, dear woman and a terrific singer. I enjoyed singing with her in Deer Park's choir as well as a trio with her during a Christmas show.

Our prayers are with her family during this time.
