Aunty Evey was the grandma I never had growing up. She had such a kind and gentle heart. She was there for every special moment in my life, she always made me feel so special and important to her. I spent many weekends with aunty and uncle.. Aunty would spoil us like crazy always. I remember fond trips to the farm, going for breakfast, baking and just spending time together. You will be forever missed Aunty. Love always Robyn - Posted by: Robyn (Great niece) on: Apr 08, 2013
