To Michelle and Steven and to David and family-
Evelyn held a special place in my heart as a woman of strength and deep faith. She was genuine and caring, concerned for others even during her own times of personal stuggles. She doted upon me by phone and mail after my recent heart attack and hospitalization. She was a lot of fun and had a zest for living. She seemed to look at each day as a new beginning. She loved her family and is greatly missed by all who knew her. She was a dear friend and confidant to my Mom, Doris. I only hope their trip to "Paris" is better than we can possibly imagine.
Godspeed, Evelyn.
Love,
Peg

Baking cookies, playing hairdresser, and playing cards were just a few of the fond memories I will treasure with Nana. She loved all of her grandchildren so much and will be remain in our hearts forever. Hang in there Grampy we are all here for you. Love you

I am very sorry to hear of Evelyn's passing, I used to work with her when she worked at Medfield and Westboro. She was a wonderful woman. May the fond memories you have of her carry you through these hard times. May she rest in peace.

Dear Dave and family, Our deepest sympathy. We came to know Evelyn through a "Navy reunion" that reunited Dave and our dad Jim. We loved to hear the stories our parents told of the fun times they had with the McCaffreys. Mom will miss the chats that she and Evelyn used to have. We are so sorry for your loss.

Dear Michelle & Steve & family:
I'll always remember what a very sweet lady she was. As far as my aunts go - she was a favorite of mine. I'm so glad I got to visit her & Dave when they came through the Sheridan, WY area on a bus trip.
