    I had the privilege of helping you out with Evelyn at your home. What a pleasure it was. I also started working at Gower Convalescent Center in which she may not have known who I was, but always said “you’re so nice.” I always enjoyed talking to her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time!!!

    I remember as a little girl,
    Evelyn was a nurse for Dr Ozenberger. I always thought she was so pretty and so nice. I loved her.
    She was also the one that gave the shots. She would give a smack on one cheek and give the shot in the other. Lol!
    Later, we became neighbors and friends. She will be missed.
    May peace be with The Spiers Family.

    Linda, Chris, and Wendy, The first of March will be fifty two years since we moved across the road from your family. When we met Evelyn, she said they did not neighbor but if we needed anything, they were just across the road. For not neighboring, they were the best we ever had! There are so many good, fun memories that I will recall the rest of my life. We were truly fortunate to know both Don and Evelyn, as they were such good people!
