"I AM JUST SEEING THIS TONIGHT AND WANT TO LET THE PENTER FAMILY KNOW HOW VERY SORRY I AM ABOUT EVELYN. SHE WAS THE SWEETEST AND MOST KIND PERSON TO ME. SHE ALWAYS WORE A SMILE AND COULD MAKE ME SMILE WHEN I NEEDED ONE. I USED TO CLEAN HER HOUSE WHEN HER BACK WAS SO BAD. SHE AND HER HUSBAND, J.P WERE ALSO GENEROUS WITH ME, TOO. SHE CAME TO SEE ME WHEN MY SON WAS BORN ALMOST 35 YR AG0 AND BROUGHT HIM SOME NICE THINGS. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER.. GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY...
