When Wal-Mart was the Girl Scout Camp, Evelyn was a leader and taking youngsters for overnights and "roughing it" was part of who Evelyn was, crutches and all. She thought someone was sneaking around her camp one night, broke into a utility building to get an axe to protect her kids. Turned out it was the sheriff and nearly scared them both silly. ~Peanut

Know you all will miss her. Your girls have really grown and I'm sure you are proud of them and their children.,Prayers for each of you and yes, know she is in heaven with her hubby. Love, Suzanne
