I have known Everette for 50 some years and have always thought of him as a brother. He use to put his feet under our table often. My Mother loved him as her own.he was like a brother to all of us. I am Wayne's sister. He spent many hours at my home and I always enjoyed being around him, there was never a dull moment with Everette around. It has been around a year sence the last time I talked to him. He had not changed even though he was sick he was asking about everyone else. That is the Everette I will always remember. Caring and loving! I pray that God who understands all our needs will wrap you and your family in His loving care so you will feel the comfort of His warm and healing touch. You are in my prayers.

Della and Family; I cannot tell you how sorry I am about your loved one. I have had you all in my thoughts and prayers for these past months. Della, you have really been on my mind. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. I am holding you close in my heart. Of course, I don't know what it's like to loose a husband and best friend, but I know what it's like to loose a child who is your best friend. Just know if you need anything at all, I am here for you. Much love and God's Blessings to you during this sad time, Billie

I guess the greatest thing about growing up with all the folks at First Wesleyan and in our town was how we all felt as one big family. Ebby's mischief was along with the likes of Russel Rutledge, Dana and Jan Ferguson kept the laughter going non stop. When we stop at times like these and count our blessings we can truly see how blessed we all have been to have been a part of each others lives. I thank God for the Belton Family and will pray for you all. Love and prayers, Bernie
