“Evelyn (Mom) is the wisest and most Loving woman that I have ever known.”
Evelyn (Mom) Loves God and everyone she encounters. She laughs a lot and until she cries. It is common to see tears streaming down her face from laughing so hard. She eats whatever she wants in moderation, is an amazing cook, shares her lunch with someone every day, has never had a habit of anything, enjoys honoring and celebrating Christmas with her beautiful lights more than anyone I know.
Some of Evelyn's most enjoyable hobbies are decorating for holidays, especially at Christmas. Her Christmas lights are absolutely stunning and we have Jennifer Mowdy take care of that for her every year. People all over Kingsport tell us that they look forward to seeing Mom's Christmas lights each year. She also truly enjoys feeding the birds at work and home. Everyone around her offers to help feed the birds outside. I have literally seen Mom sit and look through the window with a lovely smile on her face because she is watching the birds eat. Mom has always said that you can love all animals even if you don't have one. She adores my four little Yorkie puppies, Blue, Ridge, Fox, and Page. She feeds, plays, and talks to them every day at the office and claims that they belong to her! She is such a classy lady and will always be known as the matriarch of our family.
Mom has been a nurse all of my life. I feel blessed that Mom has led my private practice as Director of Nursing for over twenty years. She was there the first day I opened my practice, and still leads it today. Many patients call our office just to talk to my Mother.
I have told my Mom many times that I could not have ordered her and Dad off of a menu as parents any better than God has blessed me with naturally! I am eternally grateful to God for the gift of my parents.
Adults, children and animals adore Mom. She has such a positive spirit within her. Mom tells you exactly what she thinks, has an angelic face that does not seem to age and shares her knowledge and wisdom.
She encourages me to do my best in all things. Mom is my role model and exactly who I wanted to be like when I grew up. I deeply look forward to seeing and being with her every day.
Mom is one of a kind. This is the woman that God made! God made her Loving hands which have cared for me and many others for a lifetime. She remains my best friend, no matter my age. I Love her with all of my heart!
Mom is one of God's miracles! She honors, respects, shows kindness and lives every encounter with passion when she interacts with someone.
Mom gives all the praise and glory to God! She recycles God's goodness to help others in need. Mom is a blessing to all that know and Love her!
Mom is my soulmate. Thank you, God, for blessing me with my Mother!
