Wish I could be there but you all are in my heart and prayers.Betsy
______________ Mark, Tammy, Emma, and Greta,
We send our deepest sympathy now at the time of your Mothers passing. Take comfort in our Lord. Encouraging others and writing seemed to be important to Evelyn, so we leave you with Philippians 4:4-9. Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.
Scott and Beth Andersen _______________ Dr. Putnam and family,
We extend our sympathies to you, your family and friends of your mother. We are thinking of you during this holiday season.
Sincerely,
Lowell & John Olivier-Shaw

Dear Mark and Tammy, We are deeply saddened to learn of your mother's death yesterday, Mark. Exactly one year ago on that same day, I lost my mother. Though we know intellectually that this day will come, it is nevertheless a difficult and emotional time in our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of grief and remembering. Sincerely, Robin & Ray Martin _______________
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I don't know that I ever met Evelyn's children, but I remember both her & her mother Alma very well. I was just a child when my mother (Rhonda Wagner) worked as a hairdresser at the home. It was always a great joy for me to visit with everyone and Mrs. Fisk and her daughter were among my favorites. I will always have many good memories of sharing stories with them. My mother and I both have your family in our prayers.

Mrs. P is finally with her savior. What an impact she had on me. She wrote a poem about my wife and I when we were dating, it is framed and I carry a copy with me always. I wish I could be there. Evelyn and Wayne were my first admits to a retirement community back in the fall of 1985. Please know she was a very special lady. Love to all of the family.

Aunt Evelyn was one of the most positive people I knew and she had a way of being able to enjoy and laugh about the everyday things. She also was wonderful at encouraging and guiding others through her words and by her example and I will miss her very much...

Our condolences to Mark, Jeff and Evelyn's many loved ones.
Whether it was sharing a poem, warmly hostessing the Chapel Pointe dining room or helping a new resident adjust to retirement community life,
Evelyn demonstrated Christ's love. Content to faithfully do the little things, her life made a big impact on those who were recipients of her thoughtfulness. Gratefully, we were among them.

Families Of Evelyn Putnam,
I was the first person to clean Wayne and your Mother's room when they moved into Chapel Pointe. She was like a Mother to me. Don't think there was a person who never liked her. She wrote poems for me,one of them I framed. We had kept in touch when I moved to another state. Glad I got to see her one more time when I came back for a visit. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers are with you all.

Evelyn Putnam was a dear sister in the Lord. She was a very supportive individual during my years as administrator of the Alliance Home/Chapel Pointe. I thank the Lord for her ministry and desire to work (during her retirement at the Alliance Home). She lived a full life and she will be missed.
