Grandma Evelyn at her 95th B-day Party held 7/20/02

Evelyn Bloom was a wonderfull
human being and a true frriend in
every way. She will be missed.

The most elegant lady at 555 will be missed by all.

Evelyn was an original resident of the 555 Cornelia Bldg. as was I. However, I never met her until the building became a condo in 1979. Since that time we have shared many meals, bridge games, rummy que games, daytime trips, etc. I always referred to her as a "runner" because she rarely stayed home. She will be greatly missed by all of us.

I did not know Evelyn well, but always admired her ability to carry her years so beautifully. She was a real lady.

This summer my sister Carol and I visited our aunt Evelyn Augustin for her birthday. Not long after we arrived, we were invited to Evelyn Bloom's apartment to meet this very charismatic woman. We found her to be a very charming and warm woman who seemed genuinely interested in our life stories. Before we left, (she had a date to play cards) she gave us each a pretty deck of cards.

We looked forward to seeing her and showing off our grand-children, the great-grandchildren of her friends.

We received a phone message only last week from her thanking us for the...

Evelyn was a truly unique and special woman who lived life to the fullest, until the very end. I will miss her very much.

Evelyn was my friend and neighbor at 555 Cornelia since 1982 and I will miss her. She was a wonderful role model -- She always dressed to the 9's and never let her health keep her from doing the things she enjoyed. I am grateful that she and I were able to go to the theatre and dinner 2 weeks ago. (We had a wonderful time!)

My sympathy to everyone in her family. I know that you all will miss her.
