To my mother and brother, who were physically closer and thus bore witness to the later days, know that I weep not only for my loss, but for the suffering you viewed first hand. To my grandmother's spirit, I say farewell. You taught me much more than you likely were trying to. My life was richer because of you... far emptier without. I can only pray that I can carry on your spirit and raise your namesake (Evelyn Rose) in a way that honors the miraculous woman you were.
