Our thoughts and prayers are with all the surviving children and cousins of Everett. He married my cousin, Bonnie, and became part of the Forvilly-Merrill clan. We attended many of the family weddings and funerals together. Everette was witty an always had the smile of the day for all. We’ll miss you Everett but now you have your soulmate next to you. You will be missed.
