Dearest Bill, Wayne and Family, Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of our precious Evelyn. She was such an influence and inspiration to me for so many years. She was my teacher and mentor. I will be forever grateful to her for all she taught me. She loved her family more than anything in the world! She would just light up and glow anytime you asked about her “kidsâ€. So very proud! I loved her very much and she will always have my respect. Keeping you all in my prayers. Respectfully, Kellene Fournier Former co-worker at Tri-Con

Evelyn was part of a blessed family and she was also part of this blessing as a wonderful spouse, mother, grandmother, sibling and shining example of humanity and kindness.. Though we have to live with the sadness of losing her during our life, we are grateful to have been lucky to have her in our lives, however small or large that might have been. You never know if you have touched anotherʻs life, but we know that she touched ours. We know she will be missed and are very sorry for your loss. You are always too young to lose your mother.
