• My Nana lives across the street from Eve. I came to know Eve from the times I would go to my Nana's and Eve would be over for a visit. I am so incredibly sad to hear that she has passed away. Eve often brought my Nana birthday gifts, Christmas gifts and even Mother's Day gifts. She even knew what a fan of elephants my Nana is and her gifts were often elephant themed. She was so thoughtful and kind and my Nana always enjoyed her company. My Nana does not know how to use a computer so this is a post from her as well as myself. Please know how special Eve was to my Nana. She was a wonderful friend and she will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Please also know how much my family appreciated my Nana having a wonderful presence like Eve in her life. Our condolences to her family. We are thinking of you during this sad time. - Posted by: Gillian MacLennan (Friend) on: Dec 22, 2014

• I met Eve,when I moved to 2South. She was the first person who welcomed me to the floor. Over the years, we worked together and as we got to know each other we came to the realization that our Birthdates were the same day. The last few years we wished each other a Happy Birthday. When I became a grandmother and a young one at that , she was the one who came to me and said in her matter of fact sort of way.. This will all work out Betty-Anne, you will be so proud of your grandbaby and you're going to brag and you can brag to me. So, when we crossed paths at work she would ask how everyone was and Eve truly meant what she asked that. Rest in peace Eve, it was my pleasure to have met and worked together. - Posted by: Betty-Anne Georgeson (co-worker 2S Grace Hospital) on: Dec 19, 2014

• I met Eve in 2009 thorugh some mutual friends of our. This kind hearted woman had such an amazing sense of humor and no matter how bad the situation was, she tried to make it the most positive situation ever. I've seen her bend over backwards for the less fortunate and always willing to give as much moral support to those in need as possible. It was a huge shock to find out of Eve's passing as the last time I knew she was alive and well only one year ago. Truly a great person and the biggest heart and she will be missed by many. My condolences go out to her family, Chris and Cheryl, for the little amount of time I've known your mom, she was one of the best people I have truly ever known. My deepest of sympathies, may she rest in peace. - Posted by: Jamie Thompson (Friend) on: Dec 19, 2014

• With Uncle Roy and Aunty Cynthia moving to Canada we were never destined to be a close family, however over the past few years Eve and I have had telephone contact during the year to supplement her annual letter to us in England at Christmas. Trying to contact Eve over the last months without success, we guessed that something may be wrong. I believe we both enjoyed our conversations, swapping stories of our lives and the progress of our children and grandchildren. She was was very proud of her family. Our chats have been, and will be missed. May she rest in peace. Posted by Nick Towner. (English Cousin) 18 December 2014 - Posted by: Nick Towner (Cousin) on: Dec 18, 2014

• Eve & I became good friends during our nurses training at Grace Hospital over 40 yrs ago. We both were from the north so often travelled to The Pas together & Eve would fly by bush plane to Moose Lake where her Dad was a Minister. We kept in touch over the years & every Christmas she would send a long letter filled with stories of Cheryl, Chris & the grandkids. She was always cheerful & upbeat even when times were tough. My deepest condolences to Cheryl, Chris & families. - Posted by: Jean Melko (Friend) on: Dec 18, 2014

• We met Eve in the early 2000's. She very quickly became an important part of our family. She was always so helpful in every way possible. When we bought our first house in Arborg, Mb., she wanted to help my wife clean & get the house ready for us. A year & a half later when the house deal went bad, she was a tremendous moral & sympathetic support for us. Eve always had something inspirational to say to help us get through that ordeal. When we had to move to Winnipeg, again she was there to help us out & help us with the culture shock of moving to a big city. Eve was always a great support for my wife Cindy & our girls. 2 yrs ago, a huge opportunity came up in Red Deer, Ab. Without Eve's help & support, we couldn't have made the move. Even when the house in Arborg, Mb. came back to haunt us, again she was there to offer words of support. Four days before Eve's passing our pug Rolly passed away. We know that Eve will be watching over him, because she loved him as much as we did. Eve was like a second mother, grandmother & Nana to us & will be sadly missed. Cindy, Jim, Faith, Vanessa. (Brooklyn, Landon, Andy & Dakota) will remember her for the rest of our lives. She was always a kind & loving part of our family. We are forever grateful for our time with Eve. Rest in Peace Nana. We love you and miss you dearly. - Posted by: James Hood (Family) on: Dec 17, 2014

• I worked with Eve on a busy Orthopedic Unit and so appreciated Eve's willingness to help out with any aspect of patient care whether it was giving medications or bed-baths. I could always count on Eve to get the job done and never dismiss my concerns. We worked nights together and always found something to laugh about despite the hard work and complaints. Eve was always empathetic and entered the patient's room with her opening line "What can I do for you Sunshine?" It was amazing how patients responded to that inquiry knowing that this Nurse truly cared! Miss you Evie - Posted by: Kathy Scott (Co-worker 2S Grace Hospital) on: Dec 16, 2014
