Dear Patty, David, Valerie & All other family members of late Evelyn, Evelyn - whom I also called mom at times - as I got to know her since October 2000 will be missed forever. She was loving, straight-forward, funny but a devout Catholic since she was received into the Roman Catholic Church by me at the end of the Jubilee Year 2000. Evelyn is a person of humour, friendly and always willing to help at the church I served. Even during her years with the walker she was always willing to help as an usher at St. Luke's Roman Catholic Church, Northwest Calgary. Many of the parishioners liked her and would inquire if she didn't show up for Mass. Evelyn in her conversations with me always talked about her children and her siblings and her family at large. She loved all her children and worried about them day and night. She was blessed by God with a heart of gold. May Our Heavenly Father receive her soul now at His banquet in Heaven. May her soul rest in peace and may the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Bye Evelyn until we meet again in heaven, Fr. Alfredo of Jesus, Mary & Joseph.
