Evie and Bob were the most wonderful people. They were a joy to visit when we arrived at the cabin. Always sharing in the splendors of their garden. I remember berry picking with Evie and always having great laughs. Every Christmas she would always send cards to the kids always signed from Santa. Bob and Tobias (my husband) were always helping each other out with chores around the cabin. We truly miss them both but feel blessed to have had them in our lives as long as we did. I think angels are on Earth, Bob and Evie were our angels. - Posted by: Sabrina Taylor (Cabin neighbours ) on: Jul 09, 2014

Evie and Bob were good friends of the Edmonds family. Evie was always a welcome ray of sunshine and always had a smile for everyone. Truly sorry to hear of her passing. I am sure they are sitting around a table in heaven with Freddy, Wilf, Chip, Glen and Dave, talking about the fish that got away. Condolences from the Edmonds family, Rick, Rhonda and Brent They will be remembered - Posted by: Rick and Rhonda Edmonds (Friend ) on: Mar 01, 2014
