We are thankful for the loving, long, and fruitful life of our dear Aunt Evie. We will miss her, but we rejoice in her now eternal life and the love she carries with her.
I thought of Evelyn often and always enjoyed her cards at Christmas. My sympathies to all of the family.
We enjoyed meeting Evelyn at a recent Nylund family reunion and were amazed at her energy and zest for life. We pray that as you say “goodbye” that you will remember the countless wonderful times that you shared. God Bless!
My love and deepest sympathies to all the family, and especially to Danny. Your Mom and Dad were always so very kind to my father after he lost his family, and your Mom corresponded with him until his death. I pray God’s Peace and Presence for each of you.
Marlene, I want to pass my deepest sympathy on to you and your family. I heard your mother’s name so many times spoken by my mother, Mabel Ostlund Woods. I had a nice visit with you folks when I was in Seattle several years ago. I am so sorry for your loss and just wanted to pass this on to you. Larry
We will miss you
I’ll have a bowl of ice cream and a few cookies and think of you…lov Bryan
Our prayers are with you all
I SEND MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY TO ALL OF THE FAMILY OF EVELYN WHO WAS SUCH A LOVING AND CARING WOMAN. SHE WAS SO KIND AND GENEROUS. A GODLY WOMAN WHO ALWAYS SAID SHE HAD THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS LIVING IN ARIZONA AND WASHINGTON. SHE SPOKE SO HIGHLY OF ALL OF HER FAMILY. WHAT AN EXAMPLE SHE WAS TO ALL. JUDI BECKETT
Our thoughts and prays go out to Evelyns entire family. We both feel fortunate to have had our lives touched by Evelyn. She was a dear sweet friend and bingo buddy that will be greatly missed.
I was so sad to read of my dear friend Evelyn’s passing. I met her when I was seventeen, when we worked for Sears. I always called her my Mother at work. How lucky I was to have her expert advice and friendship during my young adult years. Evelyn was the sweetest and most loveable lady I have known. I will miss exchanging Christmas cards where we caught up with all the news of the year.
My love to her family that she loved so dearly. Evelyn will always be in my thoughts.
