To the Cunniff Family,

Evelyn was truly an amazing person. She had such a great sense of humor. I am so glad I was able to visit with her in June. She made me laugh and still loved a practical joke. She was so excited when I visited her especially when she thought of a practical joke to play on you Jim. She said you always played practical jokes on her.

Esther, Signe and Evelyn had a great friendship and a lot of great times.

My deepest condolences to all of you.

You were always in my thoughts Gram and you always will be. You let me be who I am and really understood me, even if you didn't really know what it was that did :) You brought me a lot of joy. You always told me that I made you proud and for that I am blessed. Of course I will miss you, but to me you will never be gone.

A toaster. Strange how a small appliance can bring back the fondest of memories. Years ago and a hundred pounds ago I was a finicky eater to say the least. Gram always kept an old slot toaster for me in the cupboard. It browned my toast the only way I would eat it. It was a fantastic thing to me as a boy and denotes all the small things she did with deep love for me and my brother. She will be missed dearly. Love you gram.

Sincere wishes of sympathy to the Cunniff family. Evelyn was one of a kind and will be sorely missed. She helped bring back our mother to us through sharing her many memories of her adventures with the twins, Esther and Signe. We enjoyed her company and her sense of humor. We were happy and proud to be considered her "adopted" daughters. Now she's back together with the twins on their next adventure. We'll cherish the time and memories made with her.

Many times (and many years ago) Paula and I would stop to have a cup of tea and chat at Mrs. Cunniff's kitchen table. She was a wonderful lady.
