Evelyn and I sang together in my first informal quartet. I enjoyed the time I had in her company. I am sorry to hear she has passed, but am sure she is singing in the heavenly choir. Sincerely Bonnie Grant (former Rochester Chorus Sweet Adeline)
Mrs. Gardner -how I enjoyed knowing you all those years at Blackfriars Theatre. During my presidency you came to all of our shows and your smiling face would light up the lobby. To me you were the image of a true lady and patron of the arts.
My heart goes out to your whole family.
My thought and prayers go out to you all. I got to know Evelyn through the Xerox Singles Group and found her to be a great lady. I know she has been ill for some time and know she is at peace now. She was quite a fighter and I will miss her as will the rest of the group. My deepest condolences. Marie I. DeVito
