I was a young girl attending Val Verde Baptist Church in Groves when Evelyn was a member there. Although I haven't seen her in many years, her name brought back memories from when I was a child. I am very sorry for your loss... I lost my mother 2 weeks ago so I totally understand your grief. God Bless Each & Everyone Of You!!! In Christ, Georgia Buntyn Jenkins
