A Memorial Bench for Evelyn

Last weekend, my aunt  Evelyn was killed in an accident in the Walmart parking lot in Stratford, Ontario. Evelyn had called Stratford home her whole life; she lived and worked in the town. She was a wonderful person; she was kind and always had a smile on her face. She brought a lot of joy to the people who were lucky to have known her.

I had thought it would be a fitting tribute to put something in the town she loved as a memorial. I spoke to the City of Stratford who advised that they have a memorial bench program. I thought it would be appropriate  to put the bench in a small park or near a playground where people can sit and enjoy the beautiful town as much as she did.

The bench program costs $2,700 for the bench and the plaque.  Any donations would be welcome.
