I am so very sorry to learn of Evs passing – she was a wonderful lady.
As President of the London Pioneer Club and a Travel Consultant, I knew her well and enjoyed some great fun with her. She went on many of my (the Clubs) day tours with her friends. I and my late wife enjoyed her and Isobel as company on a southern Ireland tour. She was great company – a veteran traveller,
wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed all she saw and experienced.
She will be missed.
My sincere condolences,
cary grant
Boxing day with our extended family and especially your mother has always been a special occasion for us. We will miss her.
Almost every Christmas I went to Lesley’s home and was able to experience the types of traditions and family that I didn’t have. Evelyn was so kind and loving, I missed her last year and am happy to know she is no longer in pain. She was a beautiful person and I will always remember her very fondly.
So sorry to hear of your loss Lesley and Frank. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Lesley, your mother was a much loved, treasured and beautiful person. We were privileged to have known her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Frank.
Our thoughts are with you at this time.
I always remember as a child going to “Auntie Eve’s” house at christmas. I loved it – my Dad would go dressed as Santa Claus and we would have a wonderful time together. Auntie Eve always gave me the best presents ever – she usually gave me a Christmas album – I always loved going to her house. She was full of Christmas spirit, played Christmas music and her house always smelled of freshly baked Christmas goodies. She also had dogs that I loved to play with and lots of kids – the more the merrier as everyone was always invited. I could always have fun with my “Auntie Eve”. Love you and miss you until one day we will meet again. Thanks for all the good times!!
We are so sorry for your loss, Eve was the shining star at Birch Pine Park and a very personal friend, she will be missed.
I was sorry to hear that Eve had died. I read it in the paper and loved seeing her picture with Rosie. My family were at the trailer park right across from Eve. Mikenzie, my daughter, missed swinging on the swing with Eve and Rosie this summer. We have fond memories of her and know that she will be sadly missed.
When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Lesley: I am So sorry to hear the passing of your Mom. Please accept my condolences. My thoughts are with you.
I was very sorry to hear of your loss. Eve was a very beautiful and loving person. I am very honoured to have met her and worked with her at Northern. Please accept my deepest condolence to you and your family. God Bless.

Les & Frank & Family,
Evelyn was a special lady, she will be greatly missed. Her energy on the dance floor in Cuba was unforgettable! I’m sure she’s already had a cup of tea with my mom Gladys, and both are looking down at us with smiles on their faces. It is indeed the Circle of Life — a life to celebrate.
All our Love, Sandy & Jim

It has been a very long time since we were kids. Your mom was always a hoot. I am truly sorry that I just found out and am so sorry.
Love Wendy
