Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumns rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die. Author unknown... GORDON SIMS HURLEY MASON Gordon Sims Hurley, 83, passed away Thursday, April 12, 2001, at his home in Katemcy.

VELMA RAE BEARDEN I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live. Psalms 104:33 Those of you who knew Velma Bearden knew she lived those words to the fullest.

Roy and Velma Schlemeyer on March 5, 1936, in Pampa, Texas. Her love of music came early in life as she and her twin sister, Selma Phelps played their accordions for numerous organizations, bringing joy and happiness. She married Kyle Bearden on June 1, 1956, in Odessa, where they resided until recently moving to San Angelo. She devoted her life to ministering to people through her music and song.

LINEBERY MIDLAND Evelyn Catherine Scarborough Linebery went to join her beloved husband, Tom, and her precious Savior on Saturday, April 14, 2001. Evelyn was born May 28, 1905, in Merkel, Texas. She was preceded in death by her parents, W.F. Bill and Kara W. Scarborough; four sisters and one brother. Her beloved husband, Tom died March 31, 2001. Evelyns name is associated with institutions of higher learning, churches, chapels, childrens homes, hospitals, museums and libraries. Evelyn was extremely dedicated to contributing to missions all over the United States and many foreign countries. Many individuals received an education because of support from the Lineberys. Remembering how much education meant to her, knowing what knowledge meant to living a productive life, she unselfishly devoted her time and financial support to helping youth gain entrance to a sound and meaningful way of life. She loved children and helped them develop an understanding of how to deal with life. She never saw a handicapped child that she wouldnt want to help. Evelyn was the definition of the word compassion. She was petite but powerful. God gave her strength that was envied by all who knew her. Tom always said she was the hardest working and best ranch woman he ever knew. In 1952, Tom and Evelyn moved to the home on the ranch that she had lovingly designed and built to grace the desert of Winkler County and to provide an oasis for the creatures of nature to find food and water to sustain them. In recent years of her tribulations and failing strength, she was surrounded with the love and caring of her lifelong partner, Tom (who called her Babe) and her many friends. Evelyn was a traditional Texas lady who treasured her heritage and did what she could to preserve it. Her feet were planted firmly on the earth that she loved, and her home on the Frying Pan Ranch reflected the nature that surrounded her. The owls that gathered around her renewed her wisdom, her vision and strength throughout her life. As the owl flies silently through the darkness, Evelyn went from day to day in her quiet way doing the tasks God placed in her path. She drew strength from the ranch cats she tended with such loving care. She fed the strays and gave them a caring home and in return drew the ability to land on her feet and begin a new life again and again. She fought the good fight, but her task is not finished she depends on her devoted friends and board of directors of the Scarborough-Linebery Foundation to carry the battle in her stead. Evelyn is survived by many dear friends, especially Rene Blakeney, Triena Coufal, Edna Beck, Nancy McKinley, Louise McClure, Bobbie Jo Jackson, Jody Tapp and An Ell Crudup. Visitation with family and friends will be 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 17, at Ellis Funeral Home. Service will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, at First Baptist Church where Evelyn was a lifetime member. Service will be conducted by Bob Porterfield and Gary Dyer with burial in Fairview Cemetery. Pallbearers are C.C. Matthews, Dough Grimes, Joe Max Walker, Gene Irwin, Bill Humphries and Bob Jones. Honorary pallbearers are her faithful and loving caregivers, Judy Marshall, Norma Woods, Rose Lee Henry, Carlota and Leopoldo Arreola, Earline LaLonde and Gloria Hallmark, Helen Walker, Sandy and Bill Warbois, Maxine White and all the Pioneer Ranching Families. Tom and Evelyn, we love you and we will miss you but for both of you we say Well done good and faithful servants. The family requests memorials be made to Heritage Midland, Inc. for the preservation of the Scarborough Home, 802 S. Main, Midland, TX 79701, Friends of Fairview or First Baptist Church in Midland.

Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there.

I am the gentle autumns rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die. TOM ALLEN Tom Allen, 59, of San Angelo died Wednesday, April 18, 2001, at his residence after a battle with cancer.
