Our deepest sympathies to Laurie and the family. We first met Evelyn and Laurie on their European tour in 1990 and have kept in touch since then. At that time we were living in Calgary,Canada, but moved to the USA in 2006. We had the pleasure of visiting with them and enjoying their hospitality in their home in June 2012.
May you be comforted by the treasured memories you have of Evelyn. Wishing you God's blessings and peace during this time and going forward.

I have fond memories of working along side a wonderful caring nurse in old Ward 11 back in the 70's. We had a lot of fun times and hard work along the way. Old school nurses are the best.
Sending condolences to Laurie and family.
