Notes:
11 January 2020 email from Eva: Evelyn Carney Costigan was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, it has also spread to her liver, lungs and spine so there is nothing that can be done except keep her as comfortable as possible. She is at home and Greg has taken off work to be there for her. This is very hard for him as you can imagine as they are very close. Lou Ann is still with Evelyn but isn't in the best of health now either.
Evelyn had downsized and moved into a new one-level condo only a few months ago. She turned 87 Dec. 11, 2020. Lou Ann will be 56 Jan. 28.
Update 23 January 2021: Evelyn passed away from pancreatic cancer this past Tuesday, January 19th under hospice care at home. She had turned 87 on Dec. 11, 2020. She had just been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer less than two months ago and had just moved into a new condo less than a year ago. Evelyn was the last of Pauline (Strauss) Hoyle's immediate family.
