As your second oldest i want to again tell you how much i will miss you. Knowing your pain is no more. Knowing you now will get the chance to visit Dad, Doug, and Daniel. Also including your two sisters, one brother and of course your Mom and Dad. You gave us so much maybe too much at times. But it showed us how large of a heart you always had. I want to tell you that your last worry before you left us that you wanted to make sure Dennis and Debra were going to be taken care of. As i told you before mom, they will i promise. So be good up there and tell everyone that all of us will see you again. Love, Derek

Evelyn welcomed me into the family with open arms. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to get to know her. She had a big heart and a bigger love for her family. Zoey misses you to Evelyn. Rest in peace.

Evelyn, you welcomed me into the family, even after my horrible batch of brownies! You showed me care and kindness, two things that your loving heart seemed to overflow with. Zoey had a special place in your heart, she misses you as much as we do
