Pam and Family, We happened to be in Savannah this weekend as Mama, Evelyn McKenzie, was in the hospital. Mama asked me to read the paper and this is when we saw the news concerning your mother. Eve was a dedicated member of Victory Drive Baptist for so many years. I believe that she and Ida were Charter members. She was a real Southern lady and a wonderful example to all of the young girls. I remember saying that I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. She will be missed.
