This is really hard to write out, and when you are reading from me I will not be talking about Evie in the past tense, cause I just can't do it. This is in honor of Evie mainly written by Angie and myself. Friday September 23rd the deathrock/goth scene.. well the entire world lost an amazing human being. Many of us are hurting, in disbelief, and devastated...knowing Evie she would not want us to be sad. Evie I know I know...but this is hard!!!!!!!!!! Like so hard! I can hear her telling me to get over myself haha. I am glad you are not in pain and that you are dazzling on your new journey with your hot pink hair. We feel you with us, and so you are with us.
I have so many memories of Evie, but for me being an orphan Evie is like the Auntie or big sister I never had she didn't even know it. She always called me out, and would ask me challenging questions, she never babied me haha she was always straight up and honest. Evie to me represents deep love and respect for those she loved, all the sass, strong af, brutal honesty (I mean like she will give it to you straight always), 100% EVIE = Authentic af, genuine, caring, and will not take shit. Evie embodies someone who CAN NOT be described..because she is just that badass, there are no words, not enough words to express who Evie is, and so with that EVIE IS JUST EVIE. If you know Evie than you will get that last sentence. I do not know how many words I can say cause I keep crying as I am writing this, and I am pretty sure Evie is yelling at me to dance it off! Evie thank you for cutting my hair when I was too poor to afford a haircut, thank you for teaching me how to dye my hair.. and yes Evie I will never use box dye again like you told me. My hair is healthy because of you. Thank you for handing me down clothes when you knew I needed clothes, thank you for always challenging me, listening to me when I was sad and then telling me to be happy and dance after you spent time listening to me cry, be angry, or just express the bad things going on in my life. I love you and whenever I am upset I will remember the wisdom you gave me, and the advice and try to make you proud. Evie I want you to know I appreciate how hard you were on me, as I have grown up I realize you were one of those people in my life that gave me tough love, to make me strong. Thank you Evie I love you forever and ever. -Batz/Morticia (actually I will sign off as Morticia cause you always called me that) - Morticia

Memory of Evie
When I was around Evie I always felt very safe around her. She made me feel so special and I loved her so much. Ever since I was a little girl I had always loved her pink beautiful long hair and I also really liked how she did her makeup lol. When I would go to Uncle Ralphie’s I always looked forward to seeing her because I really enjoyed her company and she was really nice to me. The last time I went to Uncle Ralphie’s birthday party was when I was about 11 y/o I think and that was the first time I had a real conversation with Evie. Evie was giving me her wisdom and I loved it and was interested in the whole entire conversation. After that day I started to love her not just for her hair and makeup but more than that for her personality. When talking to Evie I loved that she was completely honest, very straightforward, and she wouldn't sugar coat anything. I had a lot of respect for her and I always had a special bond with her. One memory that I had of her from when I was little was at Uncle Ralphie’s birthday party and I got sick and threw up and then I ended up stepping on it. Evie had come to the rescue lol and helped me clean up and took care of me and so did Uncle Ralphie and Uncle Ralphie's Mom (RIP).
How I feel
When I found out that Evie had Cancer I was so scared but I had hope that she was going to fight this. The night I found out that Evie had passed away, I saw my mom posted a picture of the both on her story of them and so I messaged my mom to ask her how Evie was doing. I felt something really off because my mom told me that she would tell me when I came back home. After that I had a feeling that something was wrong. So later on my mom and I had talked and she told me that she had passed away at home with loved ones. Hearing that was so difficult because I didn’t know how to comprehend that like I didn’t want to believe that it was true. After that phone call I started crying. It hurt so much it left me broken. I didn’t know what to do or feel so my instinct was to just cry because someone I loved passed away. This feeling was explaining it felt as if my heart was shattered or something because I loved Evie so much and this was not what I was expecting. I have lost a lot of people and when this happened I literally fell apart. I cried for 2 days straight feeling I don’t even know just an overwhelming feeling of I guess emptiness. I didn’t want to talk to anyone about it and I just stayed in my room all day. I didn’t have the motivation to go out or do anything and it was just really hard for me. I know that she is no longer in pain now and I am truly happy about that. I just hate the fact that she’s gone.
Saying Goodbye
I just wish I was able to say goodbye to her but at the same time I wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to her. If I was with her knowing what was going to happen I would just tell her how much I appreciate her and tell her that she meant alot to me.
Love always and forever Angie 💔
