Gib and family, The world is less beautiful without Evelyn and her musical gifts. She was a positive role model in my life as I sang under her direction in various choirs. I was so happy to have had a chat with her at the Community Club pot luck last month. A cherished moment. Cathy (McClennan) Brydon

Dear Gib, Mike and Gayle and the whole WHIT Clan, So sorry to learn of Evelyn's passing. When I think her, it's the same scene in my minds eye. I pull into the driveway and find Mrs. Whit tending to flowers out front (not Gib's roses as I recall) and we'd have chat about the last trip or the next planned trip or "the crop" and eventually which field or gate I might find Mike at. She was a lovely, kind and generous lady and will be missed by all. Thinking of you today this weekend as you celebrate her life well-lived. Jeff, Laura, Jordan, Teague and AJ Zavitz

What a lovely lady. We are so glad we were part of her life once upon a time. I enjoyed choir practice at her house and being part of the music at Zion. Our children who worked at the farm in the summer remember her fondly.

Mrs. Whittamore's choir! One of my fond childhood memories. Later, she shared her music and some excellent advice with me when I had my own little choir for awhile, many years ago. Her gentle -- sometimes very firm -- voice, and lovely smile will never be forgotten. A little part of my heart goes with her, as it has with all of the Hillside neighbours who have gone on before us. xo

When I started at Whitevale Church as organist, Evelyn came to me and said, "Your dad taught me in summer bible school at the Mennonite church when I went in the '30's. Besides working with her in music at the "Heritage York" churches, we often met in the bobby of Markham Theatre because she and Gib had season tickets to Markham Little Theatre shows for almost 45 years. Her friendly smile will be missed.

Uncle Gib, David, Katherine, Michael and Frank - I was so sorry to hear that Aunt Evelyn has passed. There are so many memories of visits, picking strawberries (and eating more than I picked), fun times and great conversations over the years.... My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Words cannot express my condolences in your great loss. Your mother was many things to me; choir leader, Christmas play director, mentor, confidant and friend. My world was a better place because she was in it.
