My first memory of Ms. Bellamy was when I was just a child and went to the dentist where she worked. She made a little child who was scared on her first dental visit. Later when I began school, I met her daughter, Glenna, and we became friends and remained so until we graduated from high school. Ms. Evelyn was a joy to be around. I can't recall a time that I saw her that didn't have that friendly smile on her beautiful face.

Lovely remembering Evelyn and how much she meant to my family And the help she gave to my mama June Davidson. So many little things she did to help us that I am sure she was put there as a blessing for us. So glad to know she lived a long life with lots of family around her. Sending prayers and comforting thoughts. From Susan Davidson Ficke
