May Hashem remember the soul of my cousin Evelyn, of blessed memory, who has been called to her people, because I will, without obligating myself with a vow, donate charity for her sake. In this merit, may her soul be bound up in the bond of life with the souls of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, and with the other righteous men and women who are in Gan Eden. Amen.
