Our heart felt prayers go out to the family during this time. But to know we will see her again.
We loved her old Harmony class held in the little old house behind the old Renton Church. We pray Gods comfort & blessings on Pastor Tappero & family at this time.
Rest in peace Evelyn. You were one of nicest ladies I met at Renton Assembly. You and your husband pastored the church as true leaders and great Christians. We will miss you but heaven now has one of it’s beloved children back.
We extend our dearest sympathies to the Tappero family. Mrs. Tappero exuded grace and warmth. She had the gift of making everyone feel special. I feel so blessed that I grew up at Renton Assembly of God Church under the pastorialship of Rev. and Mrs. Tappero. I know that they both touched so many lives. My mom still makes Mrs. Tappero’s delicious toffee bar recipe every Christmas!
Mrs. Tappero was a gracious lady. Always prim and proper with a great sense of humor. Always a smile and friendly word to us. It was a privilege to know her and be a guest in her home.
My deepest condolences to the Tappero family. I feel so blessed to have known Sister Tappero since an early age. She was a true example of what a Godly women should be and I only pray that I can be like her. She was truly loved and will be missed.
Bob and I wish to send our love and prayers to the Tappero family. You have been such a blessing to us and we are thankful for the opportunity to have known Mrs. Tappero. A gracious lady like I have never known before. God bless you all.
Sister Tappero has meant so much to our family. Vickie has known her since she was a girl at Evangel Temple. And then we had the privilege of serving with her and Pastor Tappero at Renton. What a great example to us and our girls. She will be missed
