Great Aunt Evelyn,
I will always remember the time that you told me "you can't get lost in Conrad!" and well I actually did get lost in Conrad. Every time we would see each other we would always laugh about that.
You were a wonderful lady! You will be greatly missed!

Evelyn was like a second mother to me. We had lots of great times together. Whenever she came back to Minnesota we would get together for supper, especially the last years when she came to Audrey's in Eagle Bend. In fact we had supper together for her birthday the last time she came on the train before she got sick. We offer our sympathy to all of the Hauer children and their families. She will be missed.
