Dear Rusty,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at the loss of your mother. She was a sweet and very talented lady. She always had a warm smile and welcome for me anytime I visited.
Your friend always,
Jeannette
Will always remember pancakes, and fun at cabin and Tincup. Heartfelt sympathy to Trudy and family.
Evelyn was my Sunday School teacher for years at Bethel Methodist and a life-long friend for my parents, Al & Margaret. She will be sorely missed and her legacy lives on through all her years as a Sunday School teacher. Our condolences.
Dear Ron and Mary,
I just wanted to express my love for you at this time of your loss.

Will always cherish the memories and the open hugs you always received from you Aunt Evie and your Family. Never To Be Forgotten.
During my years in Pueblo, Mrs. McPheeters was always one of the sweetest ladies I had the privilege to know. She was always good to cheer you up, greeting you with a smile that warmed your heart. She and Mr. McPheeters always made me feel welcome in their home.
God graced us with her presence and now has brought her home. May God’s grace be on her and on all of her family.
Blessings,
Randy
We sure would have liked to come but we have icy conditions here. Aunt Evie was easy to love, always a kind smile, and full of so much fun. She will be fondly remembered. Love– Leland Nelson
Aunt Evelyn was my favorite great-aunt. I loved coming to Pueblo to visit her and Uncle Mac. I will always treasure the china plates that she painted, I still have them hanging in my kitchen. My thoughts and prayers are with you. She was a wonderful lady!
