To the Tingleys,
Evelyn was such a lovely person. I worked with her at the CMS library. She was smart, efficient, had a great sense of humor and was so good with our students. When told to do an evaluation of her work, I asked, “Can I just put, walks on water?” My world is a better place because Evelyn was in it. My thoughts are with you all.
Jack and family; Sorry about your loss. Evelyn as I remember was a very nice, sweet person. She will be missed by all her CHS ‘ 56 friends and associates. Thinking of you always–Keith and Joann
Jack, Tami, Shelly, Crystal and the whole family,
I have been sitting here at my computer trying to find the words to tell you all how sorry I am to hear this but they just aren’t coming to me. I have so many fond memories of all of you and my home away from home! Even though I haven’t see Evelyn in years, her passing still leaves a whole in my heart! Please give each other a hug from me and know that I am keeping you all in my prayers.
I love you all!
