Evolyn was such a sweet and godly woman. I only met her last year, but her love for Jesus and others was so evident. She had a heartwarming smile! My prayers are with her family as they begin the grieving process. I know God is with you! She will be dearly missed at Norview Baptist Church! She was a true witness of Christ to others!
