"Dear Family, Evelyn Jo will be greatly missed. She was a lovely lady as beautiful inside as out. I pray that God will comfort each and ever one of you during this time. Linda and Earl Smith

"Matt, so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. Never knew she Was from Blytheville. May peace be with you and yours.

"The Garners were my friends. I enjoyed teaching Becky and Matthew in my English and World Literature classes at WILLIAMS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY. Becky babysat for us several times. Prayers for the Garner family.

"I know my friend Becky is waiting for you, to hold you again. I knew you briefly during my high school years and think about Becky all the time. We were both in the class of 72. Love to you Matt and your family.

"I am so sorry for your loss. Please know she is in a better place. I am sure she will be missed by everyone who knew her. It's hard to lose someone anytime of year but during the holidays is even harder. I lost my mother 11 years ago in Dec. Please know she is an angel looking down from heaven.

"The Angels are rejoicing at Evelyn’s home coming.

"I'm so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of this sweet lady as I grew up in her neighborhood. Please know I am praying for you all for God to give you strength in your time of heartbreak. Sincerely, Kelley Richardson.

"Mrs. Evelyn was such a blessing to me as the new Associational Missionary beginning back in 2003. She had a wealth of wisdom and maturity with a wonderful sense of humor. Her kind words and warm experiences were a great encouragement. I thank God that our paths crossed for those twelve years. I am praying for her family during this time.

"I remember the Garners' from Bro. Jimmie being over Trinity Bapt. Assn. even back when I was way younger and way before I married. We lived in Trumann then and went to Faith Bapt. Church in Tulot. Fast forward to 1993, we met again when Doug and I moved back to AR from TX. We were camping and the Campers on Mission was in the same park so we decided to attend the service. After introductions, I said to them that I remembered them from the 1960's and told them who my mother was and Bro. Jimmie said, Oh yes, I remember putting my feet under your mamma's table many a time. We enjoyed the fellowship so much that day and that was the last time we were honored to see such a sweet couple doing God's will. Time to enjoy being in heaven with Christ Ms. Evelyn.
