Hi John and Megan,

I'm Aurora's mom, Joanne. Wendy used to take care of Aurora back when Rockheights was still an Elementary School. She was one of the best T.A.s that Aurora ever had. Very caring. I didn't even realize in the beginning that she was the same Wendy that my mom was friends with when we were little kids. It was like, that's Wendy with the green sports car, as we used to refer to her. Wendy laughed and said it's Wendy with the red sports car now. I invited her to a couple of Aurora's birthday parties, so she could she Aurora, and be able to visit with my mom again as well. It was always lovely to see her; the only problem being that it wasn't often enough. She would ask about Aurora whenever we would run into each other, even when she was unable to continue being her T.A. We will always remember her with love.

Sincerely, Joanne and Aurora

Dear John and Megan,

Sorry I'm so late with this. We've never met, but Wendy and I were friends since 1968. We played guitar and sang together and had a wonderful time with our other musical friends. Although we lost touch for some time, the friendship, and many happy memories remained. She was my autistic granddaughter's T.A. at Rockheights Elementary School in later years and was wonderful with her; always ready to lend a helping hand, years after Aurora was no longer in her care. She will be missed and remembered with love, for all the years to come. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Sincerely, Pat (Jenkins) Conley

It's been a long time since I had the pleasure of seeing Mrs Evans all the time, even after leaving rockheights along time ago, I would see her occasionally and was always reminded why I really enjoyed talking and laughing with her. I was very sad to hear of this and will never forget her laugh and her dedication to not only her job but the love she had for the students and her family. She will be missed but never forgotton. Many prayers to you. She will always look out for her family that she always loved and talked about, even from above.

Take care

John and Megan,

Please accept our condolences on losing the love of your life. Wendy loved her family, loved life, loved her friends and being with people. She was compassionate and caring and great with her kids at school. She shared her life with many of us in various ways. She had a great deal of inner strength as indicated in her commitment to her recovery from her shoulder injury. As one of us card girls, Wendy got us all hooked on "dominoes" so much so that I even bought my own set and have played numerous times. At our most recent "card girls" night, she was jovial, witty and had a great time with us. She was still helping us with the "rules" and our "moves". She was laughing and kitbitzing back and forth and just enjoying herself and that is the memory that I will always cherish. Please know that she will be in our hearts forever.
Bernie and Bob

Wendy Evans holds a place in the heart of Rockheights families and staff as she does in mine, a colleaguge for a few short years but a CUPE sister for the 20 yrs I recall.
Wendy didn't swerve from her duty as a dedicated assistant meeting the needs of the Challenged Students who came under her wing. Her bravery and tenacity in the face of such a daunting injury never ceased to amaze me. Getting together with Wendy and the girls from Rockheights in August was Wendy's way of doing what she always did ; bringing people together to celebrate the Beginnings of things; in this case,the end of summer holidays and the beginning of a new school year.
Wendy will always remain in my memory as someone who was principled, forthright and always on the side of her fellow workers; Representing them at Union meetings and in the principals' offices. Thankyou Wendy! We Remember You with Pride and Love. Laura Swann

Dear Megan and John

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to know Wendy as a friend and a co-worker at Rockheights Middle School.

Her warm hearted smile, deep from the heart laughter, and her quick, clever and witty humor will be missed by the many people whose lives she touched.

My heart is with you both and I hope that the love and memories will bring you strength and comfort in the days to come.

Sincerely, Debbie Pigott
