Our deepest condolences to Betty and Susan and families. Aunt Evelyn had a big place in my childhood memory as we shared the residence in a big east end Toronto home in the early fifties and met members of her family when they visited. May she find eternal peace.

Gary and I have known Evelyn for over 20 years and we have great memories. She was my partner in crime and I loved hearing all her stories. She loved her grandchildren and always spoke of them and her daughters. She was so proud of all of you. We worked on the landscaping committee for years and she loved her soil and flowers. The flowers have not been the same since Evelyn moved from Taylor creek co-op. I am deeply saddened that I have lost a dear friend but I know that you are in a better place. Rest in peace dear Evelyn.
