    Dear Aunt Evelyn even though our reunion was short, I treasured every moment we shared, and the Motherly Advice you gave me when I needed it most, You made Uncle Sam's Last years happy, You are a gracious loving person. Nita my daughter was just head over heels in love with you Both. You taught your children well. To be the very best at anything they choose to do. I remember when we talked about you marrying Uncle Sam again.. and I had told you he is not the man he once was, and he never stopped loving you. My children Venita Arnold Foster and Jeremy Arnold Send their Love and enduring respect for you. Rest in Peace Aunt Evelyn. You will be greatly Missed. With much Love and Respect Your niece Bennette. My condolences to All my cousins and all the generations after.
