Our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your mother and grandmother. We so wish we could be there with you at this time. We didn’t know Evelyn, but she must have been a wonderful person to produce such special people as Brent and Carol. May the good memories sustain you through this time and serve as positive reminders of her influence in your lives. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers.

Evelyn has gone home where there is no more sorrow or pain. The sorrow is ours that she is gone, she will be missed but the joy is hers, she is with the Father.
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (I Corinthians 2:9 NKJV)
I was sorry to read of your Mom’s passing. I know the rest of the Stowe family will share your sorrow.
Dear Denny, Kelly, Brent and Family,
We are very sorry to hear of your loss and wish our sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies to you and your families.

So sorry to hear of Evelyn’s passing. She was such a lovely lady and always left me smiling after seeing her and having a quick visit. She was so positive and kind. Condolences from all the Eden family. Faye
We’re so sorry to hear of your loss, she was an awesome lady.
To Sigh and Evelyn’s family. I knew Evelyn and Sigh for years when Brent went to school with Leanne. I had many nice visits with them and remember Evelyn made good Chow Mein!! I remember when they had the electrical shop and lived across the road from the Browns. Lovely memories and so sad to hear of Evelyn’s demise. There are so many of the older ones passing away lately, Winfield is certainly not the same. Sending condolences to all the family from Judith Wagner and family.
To Brent and family
I am so sorry hear about your mom! She was such a beautiful lady. Many hugs from my family to yours 🙂

We are saddened by the passing of Evelyn, a loved member of our Kobayashi family. Her dignity and warmth made us better.
Mitzi and I have fond memories of her and Sigh; their kind hospitality whenever we visited, our trips together, and family reunions.
She was a wonderful lady and a good friend.
Our sincere condolences,

Hello to the Kobayashi family. Denny, so sorry of Moms passing. Regards, Glenda Jackson (Janz)
Carol, Brent, Kelly, Denny,
It’s never easy saying goodbye to your Mother no matter how old we get….
Aunt Evy reminds me of summer vacation, in the Okanagan or visiting us on the farm in Alberta.
Brent, I just watched your video on youtube; Nice tribute to a fantastic lady!
