Obituary for Evelyn Phillips
EVELYN PHILLIPS
Japanese legend has it, human relations are predestined by a red string that the gods tie to the pinky fingers of those who find each other in life. The two people connected by this thread will have an important story, regardless of the time, place, or circumstances. The red string might get tangled, contracted, or stretched, as surely often happens, but it can never break.
I believe for almost sixty years this red string twisted and braided my parents' lives together and it became so strong even after my father's death this string didn't break. I think it was tied so tight that after 13 days after my father's passing that red string led my Mother right back to my Father. Richie and Evie were reunited Sunday, December 19, 2021.
