My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to all of Anne’s family. Back in l992 my first husband, Bobby Julius Murray and i lived to the back of Bodell and Doris’ house. We were close friends at that time. Some months ago i tried to contact Anne but guess she did not remember who i was. Some of the Evans married into my adopted mother’s family many years ago. Mom and i visited them. They lived near the Old Zebulon Town Cemetary. My advice, as i have lost 2 hubbys, believe in Jesus, trust him, talk to him often. These things will be of great help in the healing process. God Bless Each of You,.
