A Very Sad and Personal Message Today

Evelyn Cox Lowe died at l:40 this morning.  Today, Christmas Eve, would have been the wedding anniversary of  Evelyn and her late husband, Terrel, who died four years ago. Terrel, my cousin, was like a brother. He was about four months younger than I, and we spent a lot of time together.  He had retired as a Methodist minister but came out of retirement to pastor some small churches.  He and Evelyn managed the Methodist church camp on Caney Lake and earned commendations for their assistance to persons dislocated by Katrina. Evelyn was one of the finest individuals I have ever known and I felt about her as I did my sisters.
