Hard for me to think that Cancer can take a persons life so fast. There comes less suffering to them when it does.
My heart goes out to the family during this time of grief. Evelyn was a beautiful person inside and out.

Darrel and Harry, You don’ t know me but I knew Evelyn for many years. I use to do her hair years ago and bought lot of avon from Evelyn. Always enjoyed visiting with her and whenever we would see each other we would always get the worlds problems solved. She will be missed by not only you but all who knew her. My prayers are with you and her at this time.
I didn’t make it to Evelyn’s visitation yesterday, but I did want to extend to you my sympathy for your loss. My memories of Evelyn go all the way back to high school. We didn’t run into each other often, but whenever we did, she was just the nicest person to be around, always pleasant and smiling. She will be missed.
