To Donna, Sandy & Wendy,
I am truly sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a gem. So many great memories growing up with you girls and “Auntie Ev”.
She will be missed by many.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mom Dianne Vannan was a good friend of Ev’s from back in their Hiram Walker days. She passed away at KGH the day before Ev. But while in hospital she asked my dad Bob many times to email Ev and check on her and let her know she was in the hospital. They were only 6 days apart in age. My mom was born Nov 17, 1943. They can rest together now. Xoxo
We send our deepest condolences to you girls. Evelyn was a special person. We all have such fond memories of her. You had to laugh when she did. It was just too contagious not to. She was a sister-in-law, an aunt and most importantly a beloved friend that will be missed by all who had the pleasure and privilege of knowing her. Our love to Wendy,Donna and Sandi
Marie Fazan and family
