Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your parents were such good friends and neighbors to us when we lived at The Methodist Oaks. Inez made everyone feel loved and Tom made then laugh. What a blessed combination of talents!

Donna and family...I was so very sorry to hear of your father's passing. You all were very special to me though it has been many years since I have been in touch. We were schoolmates. I did get to spend some time with Betsy before she passed away. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family but we'll all be together again one day. Would love to hear from you...Love Terry McCoy (Palmetto HS)

Donna, Elaine, & Chi Chi,
I know that it must be difficult to lose both parents in the span of six months. Hold on to the memories and to each other during this difficult time.
May God Bless each of you and your families,
Frank Gentry

Your entire family has the sympathy of our family. We will never forget Tom Evatt and the impact he had on the lives of the citizens of Chester County. Our children were influenced by his wonderful nature and love of life for others and the gospel. We are so glad he passed through our lives.

I remember Preacher Evatt visiting our home and picking vegetables with my father. He was a very loving and caring man. I will always remember him.
