Evon was such a dear friend to my mother, Juanita Stewart, and years ago to my grandmother, Susie Adkins. I know she will be missed dearly. I had tried to contact her within the last several months for my mother but could never reach her - we did not know she was experiencing any problems. We were very saddened to learn of her passing. May God give you strength and comfort in the days ahead as you lean on him.
