The Baichwal Family It is with great sadness that we received the news of Evelyn’s passing. We have such fond memories of the time we spent together, of a great and gracious lady. Memories of our days with the symphony, fundraising projects, nights on the town. Evelyn was a great friend. She was a wonderful mother and held steadfast to the end. We will miss her greatly.
The Baichwal family.

Margaret Comerford Reimer Dear Lois,
Much time has passed, certainly since I last saw you and moreover since our mothers were friends together. I grew up knowing that my mom and your’s were good friends, shared many good times together. I remember your house and how we would sometimes visit.
Our mother’s were great women and I miss my mom everyday.I wish you well knowing that Evelyn and Dorothy and Elaine Lynch and Mrs. Warburton are all haning out together drinking their tea.
God rest her soul and be with you and your family. I will let Terry know.
Margaret
It was with great sadness that I received the news from mum about Auntie Evelyn. I have such fond memories of all my visits with her, her humour and kindness. She was a wonderful person, and my thoughts are with all of you in this difficult time. Love, Jennifer
