Dearest Percy and family, we are sending our deepest condolences! Jean was a wonderful woman, and we were blessed to have known her during our 25 years as your neighbours across the street in Fort Langley. She will be greatly missed. Sending love to all.

I would first like to introduce myself.  I am Carolyn Boyer youngest daughter of Jean.  We have gathered here today to remember the most amazing lady I know, Dorothy Geogina Evans or Jean, but of course to me she was Mum.

I knew I wanted to say something today but I struggled as to what I should say.  I wanted to say that Mum is responsible for all of us being here today. Specifically though, Mum was mum to 4 children, Grandma to 10 , Great Grandma to 8  and loving wife to Dad for 68 years.   I am sure as the years pass there will be many more added to the numbers.  

I also thought I wanted to point out that Mum I believe, gave some of us physical traits such as funny little baby toes, a little bump on one of our ears, eyes and hair colours and so on.  

I also thought of words that could be used to describe Mum and for me here are a few of them.

Humour - Mum had a great sense of humour.  She could always could see the funny side in any situation, a stubbed toe, a trip, a fall would send Mum into giggles that were so infectious that soon the unfortunate victim and all around would be giggling as well.  She didn't enjoy peoples pain or embarassment but she could alway find the humour and it would have been no different if she were the one with the stubbed toe undoubtily the incident would end in giggles.  I also carry this trait.

Competative - Mum was also fiercly competitive whether it be a game of crib, rummoli or dominos she played to win.  And she loved to play any games whether is involve cards, tiles or a board, she would be the one dragging the games out as soon as company arrived.  For many years our family's New Years Eve tradition was chinese food followed by hours of games from bingo to trivia.  Prizes were always on hand.  A good time was had from the youngest to the oldest.

Provider of food - Anyone who came to Grandma's soon learned they would never leave hungry.  There was alway baking in the freezer so if you stopped by she would be running to the freezer and pulling out a cornacopia of goodies.  And if you were lucky enough to be a dinner guest well, she alway cooked food enough for a small army as she felt that there had to be left overs otherwise perhaps someone had left the table hungry which if that happened it was by your own doing.  And I would be amiss if I didn't mention Grandmas FAMOUS Home made buns which were loved by all!!

Patience - Mum also had the patience of a saint.  I only remember once Mum being mad at me specifically she just was an unflappable person.  Mum was always the peace keeper, the diplomat.  A talk to mum about anything that was troubling you by the end you had a solution or you felt at ease as you came to realize it really wasn't the end of the world.  I really will miss this influence mum had.

I also asked Dad, my siblings and their spouses,  Grand Children and Great Grandchildren what words you would use to describe Grandma and this is what they told me.

- Kind
- Loving
-  Sweetheart
-  Mischievous
-  Gentle
- Affectionate
-  Great Buns
-  Cheerful
-  Smiling
- Happy
-  Fun
-  Always smiling
- Love for Grandpa
- Competative
- Enjoyed others Happiness
- Non judgemental
- Wonderful
- Loving
- Warm & Caring
- Silly
-  Fun Loving
- Incredibly Sweet
- Angelic
- Charming
- Caring 
- Selfless
- Epitome of a Mother, Grandmother and Wife 

I know that there are many more words that could be used to describe Mum.  

So much more could be said as she was and is an incredible person.  I will be forever grateful to have had her as my mother.  She will never be forgotten and alway remembered.  Love you Mum

Our thoughts are with the Evans family as they have lost a kind, thoughtful and gentle mother, grandmother, aunt and wife. We feel blessed to have had them as neighbours for 29 wonderful years and regret not being able to attend her service.

."Our condolences to all the Evans Family on the passing of our Auntie Jean, after a long and wonderful life. Auntie Jean was a wonderfully kind person that always made our visits to see her and Uncle Percy a great time. We too will miss her.

Our condolences to all the Evans Family on the passing of our Aunt, Jean, after a remarkable life. Jean dedicated her life to our Uncle Percy, her husband of almost 70 years, her 4 children, our Cousins, Larry, Linda, Wendy and Carolyn, and later her daughter and sons in law, and grandchildren. Hers was a long and wonderful life to be celebrated, not mourned. Uncle Percy, we know you will have especially fond memories as you and Jean found love at Norgate and raised a family in Norgate, Dauphin and Fort Langley. You have much to celebrate with great memories.

We paid tribute to a wonderful woman today. Auntie Jean, you were an absolute gem. I didn't get to see your mischievous side like your children and grandchildren saw but I will always remember your gentle, caring nature and a pure kindness that always shone through no matter what. You were a very lucky woman to have found and shared your life-long love with Percy. You both truly lived the dream of being able to live by each other's side for so long, and to build your lives on a steadfast foundation of commitment and respect. Yours is a love that is eternal. We can be humbled by your example. If we could all be so fortunate as to live into our twilight years with our love as you have, we would be extremely fortunate indeed. May you rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to my dear friend Wendy and family on the loss of your Mom. You were truly blessed to have had such a sweet and kind Mom. I cherish the memories of time shared with your family growing up. Forever remembered, RIP Jean.

Dear Carolyn & Family, My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother.  May you cherish and find comfort in the fond memories you have of her.

Vivian and I want Percy and family how lucky they are to have had mom in their lives for so long. Hang on tight, to all the memories of and with her. I know I will.
Mike and Viv Christianson

Dear Carolyn and family.  So sorry to hear of your loss and I express my sincerest condolences.

Carolyn,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom.  May you find comfort and peace during this very difficult time.  My thoughts are with you.

Thinking of Uncle Percy and the whole family.  Spent some time this week remembering Aunty Jean and her unique, twinkle in the eye beautiful presence in the world.  With love and care,

Sincere condolences to Percy and all family....as a neighbor and friend,one of the very best.... May Jean, rest in perfect peace today and always.

Don and I are so sorry for your loss.Our hugs to you all!She was a great lady!
I always enjoyed talks with her at one of the Evans family gatherings.She will be remembered in our hearts.

We never had the pleasure of meeting Jean but we love her daughter Wendy. The apple never falls far from the tree and based on what a wonderful person Wendy is we know Jean would have been a joy. Condolences to Percy, Wendy and the family.

Tim and Maureen Wasilieff (Langley BC)

Dear Percy, Carolyn, Wendy and family, I'm so sorry that you have lost such a special person. I know she will always be in your hearts and you in hers and hope that you will find comfort in each other.

Carolyn and family, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom.  I know how close you were to her. I remember when we worked together you spoke to your mom every day. That's a special bond and very loving mother daughter relationship. You were and still are an amazing daughter. Your mom was and will always be proud of you. I know you will cherish all your fond memories of your mom. Just remember if you ever need to talk I'm here for you. I do know what you are going through!! All my love!!
