Dear Editor: Our family is absolutely at a loss for words to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to Amber Pittman at The Covington News, Captain Malcom and all of the Covington Police Department, Santa Claus and Diana Davis of Channel 2 News for everything they did last Thursday, Dec. 6, to bring so much joy to us, especially Sabrina, Joel and Chase, during this tragic time in our lives. All of the gifts on their Christmas list, the gift cards and all of the love you surrounded us with was overwhelming. So many thanks to all of you.

The loss of Tyler, Sabrina's husband, Joel and Chase's daddy, Joe and Betty Evans' son and Clayton's brother, has been so heartbreaking to our families. But the love, care and compassion extended to us has been a true blessing from God.

We would also like to express our thanks to this whole community for reaching out to us in so many ways and with so many prayers to comfort us.

It is wonderful to be a part of a community where people care so much for each other. We feel your love and God's great love each day.

We are also so very thankful for all the donations made to the Sabrina Joel Chase Evans Fund. Many, many thanks for your sincere generosity.

May the true spirit of Christmas continue to bless you all.

Sabrina, Joel and Chase Evans

Joe and Betty Evans
