Evelyn was a trip in her self. I travel with Evelyn to Barnsom Mo. and enjoy the trip, Evelyn talk about the trip on Aug. 6th about doing another one. Thank you Evelyn for giving us your son Jack Jr. to Robbin--the Wilfong name go on. I hope one day to walk the street of gold with you Evelny and talk once again about our yesterdays. God Bless Robbin & Jack jr. family, the Taylors, and Nancy and Her family.

Evelyn Wilfong, along with Bertha Adams, Robin Wilfong, her daughter-in-law, Patrick Wilfong, her grandson, Ina Breeden and myself, her friends, a few years ago took a road trip to Branson, Mo. We had a blast singing songs with the Ladies of Country Music and just generally having a great time spoiling Patrick. It was a trip filled with fond memories. Evelyn was a fine, fun lady that will be missed.

I grew up as a neighbor and friend of Evelyn and Carroll. I spent the night with Evelyn several times after my sister, Evelyn's close friend, got married. She and her father took me to my first movie. Her mother was my teacher in the fifth grade. I will always have fond memories of Evelyn and her family. May God bless and comfort each of you during this time of grief.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
