Evelyn's child-hood was plagued by epilepsy and many times she almost died, but not all of her near deaths were from the epilepsy, they were the result of her dad Herbert beating on her, her ten younger siblings and her older sister Laura. Evelyn had five younger brothers, five younger sisters, one older sister and the two older rapist brothers. Evelyn didn't trust many, but she loved and trusted her older sister, Laura. Just before she was going into an epileptic seizure she whispered in Laura's ears saying, "I'm getting sick sissy."
