I greatly enjoyed knowing Evelyn in the years I've been her neighbor. We often met at our mailboxes and chatted. She impressed me as a wonderful person, a true "lady," whose talented needlework was beautiful. I was honored to spend a bit of her 100th birthday with her.

My namesake, my mother's best friend.

I have great respect for this precious lady and am honored to carry her name. I can easily understand why she and my momma were best friends. My love and sympathy to each of you. What a beautiful legacy she has given.
