Evelyn Lepper

Dear Family and Friends…

I want to thank all of you for your kind words and understanding.  My decision to have medical assistance in dying was an easier decision than you might think.  It is time.  I know it has been a hard decision for some of you to come to terms with.  But please know that I am at peace with my choice.

Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by family and friends who I have loved and enjoyed.  The good times were plenty!  The knowledge that I received from all of the quilters; the food and recipes that have been shared; the joys and sorrows of life shared.  I learned a lot from all of you.  Hopefully, I have passed on some of the knowledge and know-how I have learned along the way, too.  And I’m sure that all the food recipes I passed along will bring back reminders of our good times together!

I was so grateful and surprised for the help that I received after Bruce passed.  And once again when I sold the house.

I want to thank Sue and Randy for their support and understanding.  I am so grateful.

Goodbye… for now.   Lyn.
