Evelyn M. Henderson

I Evelyn was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am married to The Rev. Thomas B. Henderson who for 17 years has pastored North Side Baptist Church. This coming March 5, 2012, Tom and I will be married for 47 years. I have two children, Penny and Tom Jr. I also have 5 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. I hope sometime along the way, you may have the time to lay in under an Old Oak Tree and laugh until you cry. And, then again sitting by a fireplace as the snow falls and reflect back on the tales and memories of my past, present & future. Simply, Evelyn

I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO EVELYN ALMOST 50 YEARS, I AM SO HONORED TO GET TO WRITE A FORWARD FOR HER BOOK OF THE GREATEST POETRY.SHE IS A LADY OF GREAT POISE AND UNDERSTANDING. BEING MY WIFE ALL THESE YEARS, WE ARE SO CLOSE. OUR FAITH AND PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS THINKING OF THE WELLFAIR OF OTHERS. EVELYN AND I WERE BOTH RAISED POOR. WE NEVER LOST SIGHT OF OUR TEACHINGS. HER POETRY IS NOT EDITED FOR A REASON. SHE WANTED TO BE REMEMBERED JUST AS IT WAS WRITTEN. THIS WOMAN IS THE MOST INTELLENGENT LADY I HAVE EVER KNOWN. YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE WRITINGS, BUT SHE LIVED MUCH OF IT AND SHE IS THE MOST HONEST PERSON YOU WILL EVER LEARN ABOUT.

BELOVED HUSBAND
