I only had the pleasure of meeting Uncle Everett a few times, but the last two were the most memorable. It made Dad so happy to get to sit and talk to his brothers, to much time was spent with out getting together. Wish we could be there with the rest of the family as Uncle Everett is laid to rest, but we all shall meet again. Please accept our condolances and apologizes that we cannot be there due to a situaton that is out of our hands but in Gods hands. Love to all the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Everett is now with Sondra who he loved so much. He was a wonderful person and always had a smile and a friendly word when he came into the doctors office. He will be missed by all his friends.

May my loving father-law Everett rest in peace in the presence of the Lord, with his beloved wife Sondra and all his loved ones that have passed before him. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. His grand-daughter Joslin (Daughter of Sherry and Darren Feist)will greatly miss her Poppie who shared many fond memories with him over the years. Thank you for all you taught her Poppie, especially how to ride a tractor! You will forever be in our hearts; we love you eternally and we know we will meet again in heaven one day. Love, Darren, Sherry and Joslin
