When I remember Evelyn I smile, she was a joy to chat with. She loved Jesus, her family and friends. We shared a couple of Bible studies together. Recently she mentioned that she had babysat for John Ankerberg, in Chicago, where they both grew up. It is wonderful to know that she is with her Savior Jesus Christ. Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
