It was 20 years ago today that Evelyn was taken from us. I woke up this morning and reflected on the events that transpired the morning of her death. A tragic day I will never forget. As the years have past, I see her picture taken in her uniform with the American flag in the background. I see her beautiful face and awesome smile. She will always be in the hearts and minds of all of us who knew her and loved her.
