Sincere sympathies to the family. We were classmates in elementary school at Lynx. Evelyn was so smart! I remember when the teacher would have us do little arithmetic contests at the blackboard, she would always beat me! I'll forever have good memories of Evelyn.

When I think back to my childhood, she was there. When I think of every important moment of my life there was no question on where Sis would be. Family was everything to her. She had a quick wit to her and an intelligence that one could see upon meetings her. Not only country smart but she excelled in her education as well. She was beyond proud of her family and her degree. How lucky were we to have known her. She will be deeply missed.
