Not sure what to say?

I have many fond and fun memories of Aunt Evelyn. She was a very generous and loving person. She was also a very fun individual and the only dull memories I have is evenings watching Johnnie Carson with her during a stay in 1964. She treated me like a son.

To Sharon and family, please accept my sympathy on the passing of your Mom.
You may not recognize my name-I did activites at Luther Woods while she was there. While it was
not usually something she cared to do, we always managed to have a laugh or two, & I loved her humor.
And she so looked forward to your visits Sharon! She will remain in everyone's heart she touched, including mine...God Bless, Saundra

I am so sad to know Aunt Evelyn has passed. She made my childhood special and has always left me with lots of wonderful happy memories. As a child she let me ride my bike to her house all by myself. She let me buy all the penny candy I wanted. These are little things but I'll never forget how special she was. Even though we have been separated by miles for many years she has always been in my heart. I will never forget her.

Aunt Evelyn was a part of a childhood that I hardly remember, yet her spirit lives on with me. In the last several years she was a part of our family gatherings as she helped my father remember his parents and thus we got to know grandparents we never had. I know she and my Dad are together and at peace now. Her family will always be a part of ours. Love - Marie

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Even though I never knew Evelyn personally, I feel as if I did know her through my grandfather, her brother Joe.

To Sharon and family,

My sympathy to you and your family. Evelyn and Joe are together once again. I wish I had known her but we moved away while I was very young. My thoughts are with you all.

Every child deserves to grow up with an aunt as special as Evelyn. She laughed a lot always enjoyed when my family, with 5 kids, would show up. She was the special aunt who worked at the drugstore and always made us root beer floats after a trip to the dentist. She will always, and forever, have a special place in my heart.
