Dear Evelyn & family:
Your loss is shared by many individuals who have known you since your arrival in Kerrville. You and Charles lived, loved and laughed in your home and church on many occasions to worship the Lord , encouraging others and in times of fellowship when we played games using beautiful furniture Charles' created. Together, Evelyn, you and Charles blessed our lives as a team endowed to serve others! Keep the SON in your eyes!
