My cousin had a sharing and loving spirit. While I was 2 years younger, she embraced me and became a friend as well as a cousin. We looked up to Evelyn as the older sister. Many a night I remember playing Barbie with Paula! What a wonderful teacher she was and I know will be remembered as such. Every grade she taught got to experience her love of teaching. She always made her room a wonderful enviornmemt of learning. Her love will surely live on in so many of her pupils. You will be missed sweet cousin. Rejoice your new life with your Mom and Dad.
