second oldest child born to this union, she was also
the sister of Lister Leonard and Adelia Leonard Smith,
and the niece of Belle Selby Leonard, all of who
preceded her in death. Evelyn attended public schools
and earned a certificate as a nurses aide. At an early
age, she became a member of St. Paul United
Methodist Church.
For most of her adult life, she lived in Los Angeles,
CA but moved back to San Antonio in 1968. She
lived in the family homestead until April 2000. At

If the sun should rise and find your eyes, allfiled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand.
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave
behind, all those things I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye.
For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that that could never be.
For emptiness and memories, would take the place of )ne.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow.
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home,
When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne
He said, "This is eternity, and as I've promised you.
Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,you know you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free
So won't you take my hand and share My life with Me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.Author Unknown
