Remembering Evelyn

REMEMBERING EVELYN 

AS WE WALK TODAY IN HER MEMORY.
WE REALIZE JUST HOW YOUNG SHE WAS.
53 WHEN THE DREADED C WORD CAME CALLING
TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM US.
EVELYN MAE, MOTHER OF 10
GREAT GRANDMOTHER OF MANY.
SO FULL OF LIFE,AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER.
SHE LEFT US ALL TO MOURN HER MEMORY.
LET'S WALK FOR A CURE.
IN ALL OUR LOVED ONES NAMES.
DO ALL IT TAKES 
SO WE CAN END THIS NEEDLESS PAIN.......

GONE 26 YEARS BUT NOT FORGOTTEN  SEPT.6

I don't think I know anyone who hasn't lost someone to that dreaded disease. A beautiful tribute. I support those walks too. Love, Shar
