The angels looked down from heaven one night.
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven,
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven.
Keep us free from hurt and pain.
You’ll always be within my heart
Until we meet again.
You were such a beautiful person. I loved playing words with you and Larry. Your smile was so inviting. I loved helping you anyway I could. going to the store for some bananas or pudding so you can take your meds. When we had a blackout I brought you a little flashlight so you can see yourself in the bathroom it was such a joy for having you as my friend. I will miss you so much. I was in shock when Lousie told me yesterday (Jan 16) that you passed. I just lost it but Louise couldnt give me a hug because of covid. It will never be the same as I walk past your door at Luther Ridge with the wreath with the birds on it so beautiful like you….Rest in Peace my Dear Friend You will always be in my Heart.
To the Family of Evelyn I am so sorry for your loss. My Deepest Condolences….
