Evelyn Rose (20/12/2017 - 16/07/2019)

On this day, the world became less bright, less joyful, less beautiful. Would you believe one little soul could have such a profound effect on this Earth. 

Evelyn does. 

Evelyn's smile could forge happiness from the deepest depths of even the saddest soul. Her piercing-but-gentle gaze made you feel as though she saw through you for who you truly are-- and she loved you unconditionally for it. Evelyn was a little girl who inspired those around her to be better. 

It is our world's greatest loss that she will not be able to grow to her truest potential and live the life she was meant to lead. Evelyn was beautiful, clever, cheeky, doting-- but, most of all, she was strong. This little warrior fought harder than the greatest champion all the way up until her final breath...

There are a great many things in life that are perplexing but the loss of something so pure feels unequivocally reprehensible. It is now our turn to fight like Evelyn did to learn how to live with the vast void left behind. 

Dearest Evelyn, your family loves you so much and you will be forever in our hearts. Rest peacefully, angel. 

Love, 
Your uncle David.
