It’s a sad and happy time. A Godly woman has gone home. I wish in my adult life I would have been able to spend more time with my grandma in the beautiful Smoky Mountains. The best memories of my life are the ones spent traveling across the country and spending the week in Ashville, NC at grandma and grandpa’s house. Although the loss is felt here on earth, it seems so strange, as a Christian, to be genuinely excited when one goes home. It is my belief that the time is rapidly approaching when we will all be in that special place, hand in hand, arm in arm, laughing, singing and rejoicing with our Savior. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love you lots, Russ
It saddened me so to hear of the loss of Dear Ms. Margaret, as I loved her dearly. She was such a wonderful, kind, compassionate lady. My heart and hugs go out to all the family during this time of loss. Blessings dear family

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this sorrowful time. A true lady in every way, Margaret will be missed. Having known her for many years, I always admired her for her humor and sincerity.
I cant tell you how often I think of Grand Pa and Grand Ma Evans and all the Evans girls. What fond memories I have of NC and think how fortunate I am to come from such a beautiful family. It saddens me that Riley and Sidney never had the chance to meet such a beautiful sweet woman. My love and prayers are with you always.

Dear Green Family
I was so sad to hear the loss of a great mother,grandmother,wife and friend. I had the wonderful pleasure of getting to know her over the years at her family doctor’s office. Her smile and laughter made every visit a pleasure.
