    Norman,
    Sally Roush was just in at the Church and mentioned she saw in the newspaper that Evelyn went to be with our sweet Jesus. I am sorry for your great loss, because I believe she was one of the sweetest ladies I knew. I am just sorry that I hadn’t made time to come and see you both, that is surely my loss. But, now I know she is healed, whole and dancing the streets of gold with Jesus. Be Blessed and know that you have never left the thoughts of my heart.
    Love,
    Dottie & Steve Meyers

    Norm,
    Please forgive me for not staying in contact with you and Evelyn, I regret that very much. I kept thinking I need to call or go by your home, I drove by several times, but saw no car. By not keeping in contact I wasn’t for sure if you were home or that Evelyn was ill. I am so very sorry for you and the family. It will be a joy to see Evelyn in our future with Jesus. I give the funeral home permission to give you my email address, if you have access to a computer or look me up on facebook: CChristine CookInce Flynn. I have been going to Lafayette where Rebecca and the children live, to go church with them at First Assembly of Lafayette, about seven months. I haven’t been at NLIC to have heard any news of you or Evelyn. If you want I will come visit where ever you are living Norm.
    Sincerely,
    Chris
