Mr Everett was a very sweet and loving man. I don’t know how many years I’ve known but he was always sweet and kind to me. I was married in as family but he didn’t care. He treated me as I was always in the family. Some people may have other experiences so I can only speak for myself. He was as everyone says very kind and helpful. I know those of you will miss him so much. Just remember he has no more pain. You will see him again soon. I’m sorry for your losses. Just remember all the great things he did. He loved you all so much. Love Don and Jan
