grandmas shared a lot of wonderful memory with us. Bobby helping grandmas pick apples from the very top. Jeremy winning every card game. Rebecca showing her all her fashion shows, Megan all of her coloring pictures she gave her. We all miss her.
Evelyn was an awesome woman. We will miss her very much. I sat with her for hours in the past and took notes while she told me family stories. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time. God Bless all of you. She is now in heaven sharing her stories with a larger and better audience. Love you all, Dixie
