Update on the Evans

Hello from the Evans,
  We want to take a moment to update everyone as a family on our progress in health and with the funeral arrangements.  The little ones are doing better and so is David, but Grayson is not doing so well.  She is being checking out now by a pediatrician as I write you.  We are praying for health over her body because she is sick with many symptoms of the Dengue Fever.  We are still awaiting the results of the tests that were done last Friday by the Infectious Diseases Specialist.

   The funeral will take place on Thursday, March 21 at 4:00pm at First Presbyterian Church of Rome, GA; the viewing of Melinda will take place prior to the funeral service, beginning at 2:30pm.

   My father has decided to stay for 6 months at a house provided in Garden Lakes, Rome.  This will allow him to heal and have time to recover, allowing the kids to have a consistent life were they can process the past 6 months of their lives and more importantly, their lives with their mother.

  Prayer Requests:
We need health and energy to continue with life.  Financial gifts are very appreciated right now more then ever and we ask God to open the hearts of the little guys and allow them to feel free to mourn and grieve for the life of their mother.

Thanks again for everyone's generosity. David and the family are overwhelmed and so grateful. 


Over All may God have the Glory of it all!! 
May our life and my mom's testimony resound within our hearts and minds. May we be changed, strengthened, and encouraged by the love that she gave while being with us and that she left us. 

GO WITH GOD AND SERVE HIM WELL

  2. My name is Dusty, and my husband and I hosted your family's website when Sarah Joy joined your family. My heart has just broken for all of you since I heard of Melinda's passing from a mutual friend. Though I never new her personally, her love for the Lord showed in everything that she wrote. I pray that God will hold all of you close as you walk through this valley. Praying for all of you.
