Sorry to hear about the loss of Everett.  I just wanted to send you all my deepest sympathies in your time of loss.  Keep his memories close to your hearts until you see him again in heaven.  I remember Everett when I was growing up on the farm south of Leeds with my parents, Alvin and Evelyn.  We would come to your house and visit our parents would play cards.  Take Care and God Bless you all.
