Hi,Sadly to say I only had a conversation w Eve . When I met her it was bcus I went to tk a meal I prep to her son in law Jose n fam. I had the pleasure to meet her and to share a nice and sweet conversation w her about our love ones . At that time she was encountering some (depression I say) due to the loss of her husband 🙁 Eve was soo sweet,so gentle i can say,the convo felt more like more like mom n daughter tk. Thats wat she gave to me as an energy feeling. What more can i say. Amazing lady. .. May her soul R.I.P in Heaven 🙁 sincere condolences to fam.
I loved working with Miss Evvy at CDC. She was a sweet, wonderful lady. The children adored her and so did the rest of us!
Evelyn is home with the Lord and one day we will be with her and our Savior!
I’m emotionally hurt by your being called home by our Savior, but also so happy that you have finally reunited with our loved ones that have previously been called home. Until we meet again Aunt Evelyn, I will miss you.
“Miss Evey” was always a joy to me at CDC. I was the lead and she the assistant teacher in the Clownfish classroom. She was an amazingly kind and caring woman; I think of her often. I know she’ll be missed greatly by her family and friends. My condolences…Kathy Rembold
