    So very sorry for y’all’s loss. I grew up knowing Evelyn and her entire family as if they were my own siblings. Her mom and my dad were best friends their entire life. It’s been years since I’ve seen her but that doesn’t mean I don’t still love her. I know you are hurting right now because of the loss of the tragic accident that took her life along with her granddaughter Serena’s. They are both in God’s Loving Arms now no more pain and no more sorrow ever again. My prayer for the family is for continued healing for those others that were injured and for unification for the entire family. I love you all I wish you all the best.

    I always remember Evelyn with a smile on her face..Even when feeling down it didn’t take long to start laughing again by something somebody said or did. The early college years were so much fun hanging out at her apartment . (As the younger sister). I got to know her and hang out with the the crowd which I thought was cool
    Though as we got older, we didn’t stay in touch a lot, but always knew she was there. She will be missed for sure.
    Prayers for healing for the family.

    Evelyn was a dear friend who will be missed by many.
    I loved the joy and happiness she always shared with others.
    Every time we were together we would reminisce about our time
    In the late 70’s & 80’s, a softer more gentle time when we first
    Met at Olney Central College.
    Evelyn not one time allowed her disability to prevent her
    From attaining her goals, disco dancing, and sharing her
    Friendship for over 44 years.
    The world may have lost a great woman, but Heaven gained
    A Super Angel.
    Prayers to family and friends. When the sorrow and pain of her death appears too much to bare, look to heaven, our wonderful Evelyn is there, smiling down on us.
