"From the first time Evelyn came over to our home almost 7 years ago to introduce herself and welcome us to Coin, she had a place in my heart. Her Beautuful Family was often the topic of conversation. From watching her in the middle of winter trek out to the barn to take care of her chores, to organizing the many Library dinners, and volunteering at the local Rest Homes, and too many more to mention, she was one tough cookie, that I admired to the highest respect. She lived her life to the fullest and let nothing stop her. I Will Miss Her Dearly, Love You Evelyn! "
"Our thoughts and prayers goes out to the family. Ed and I have wonderful memories being with you all. Evelyn was like a second mother to us. Wonderful lady. Loved our chats when we saw each other. Will miss her very much. "
"Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to Evelyn's beautiful family! Evelyn was such a sweet soul, caring and giving. May the wonderful memories that you have, give you comfort at this time. And may God give you His Comfort and Peace, in the days ahead and forever. Rest in Eternal Peace, Evelyn Loghry, Child of God! Love and Hugs!"
