So thankful that someone happened to come to AZ and let me know the sad news about your Mom. I would have not known. I have been unable to be corresponding with anyone since I broke back at T11 and crushed L3,L4, L5. two weeks ago. May God's blessing help to heal the wounds of the loss to all the Children, Grandchildren and the many, many friends of Evelyn.

Hazel, What a blessing to have had the joy of her companionship all these years! My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.

We are so sorry on the loss of your Mother. Our prayer are with you guys. Sharon and Hazel Turner,and Sister Linda Turner Noe, Norma Turner Moore.

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. She was a dear and special person. She loved her family and her church family. We will miss her very much.

Hazel, Please accept my condolences. I remember you from 4-H days. Your Mother was very active & supportive in her teachings & examples of what it took to manage a home & family. May the love & support of many ...lift you up & provide strength in the days ahead.

Heaven has another blessing. I served on the HCE board in the early 1990's. I always enjoyed visiting with her at the County HCE functions.828

Many fond memories of 4-H meetings at the Gates home. You and your families remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept our deepest sympathy with the loss of Evelyn Gates. The Gates family has always been special people in our lives, Ross and Evelyn as parents and supporters of the Northwestern Schools, and all their children who influenced many people (students and teachers alike) by their actions of striving for excellence. Sorry that we will be out of town during the services. Love to all - The Mahans

Condolences to your family. I am a cousin to Ross I was flower girl at their wedding. My mother (Sophronia Klaus) was a sister to your grandmother.

My deepest sympathy to Evelyn's family and friends. She was a very special lady, full of love and compassion. I served with her on several committees as a member of the Macoupin County Homemakers Extension. Praying God's blessings for you all as you grieve her loss.

I am so lucky to have had Aunt Evelyn in my life. She was an anchor for me always reminding me where home is and a constant reminder of the person I want to be. She touched so many lives and will be remembered by so many for being the wonderful and caring woman she was. I'm so sorry that I can't be there. My love is with you all.

Our deepest sympathy to you, Peggy, and your whole family, on the loss of your Mother. Praying God will bless you with courage to bear the sorrow you feel, friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to help you smile again.

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. She was a dear and special person. She loved her family and her church family. We will miss her very much. God loves you. Cherish all of your memories because they are very precious to you. Take care and we love you. Randy, Carol Rumble and family
