Evans Brent D. Evans Jimmy Evans, Jr. Flower Bearers Jobe Spring Baptist Church Ushers and Granddaughters A million times weve cried If love alone could have spared you You would have never died. If all the world were ours to give We would give it, yes, and more To see you coming up the steps And walking through the door. To hear your voice, to see your smile; To sit and talk with you awhile; To be with you-the same old way Would be our fondest day. A heart of gold stopped beating Two smiling eyes closed to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
