I first met Eve 31 years ago. I had just arrived in Oxford and was a junior staff nurse on the ENT ward on which Eve worked. From day 1 we clicked and Eve took me under her wing and showed me the ropes and taught me what true, compassionate and caring nursing is. If I could have been half as good as she was I would be happy I remember thinking. I think (possibly in an attempt to match make), she introduced me to Alan. I was going off to Australia and so was he and I genuinely think Eve thought he would be safer travelling with me and my co-traveller. Oh how wrong she was!!! Don't worry Alan, what happens on tour stays on tour!!! I will always remember Eves infectious laugh, her great sense of humour and believe I was incredibly privileged to have known her. My thoughts and love are with Eve's family and friends and I will be thinking of you all as you gather to celebrate her wonderful life. Loads of love and happy memories Midge xxxx

We hope that you find this tribute to Evelyn a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
