To Eva's family, I extend my deepest sympathies. I worked with your Mom for years at United Reservations, we even sat next to each other. I not only liked her, but I admired and respected her, and thought she was one of the most interesting, kindest, and intelligent person I had the privilage to know. I shall always be grateful for and cherish her friendship. She will be sorely missed.

As I put the skirt Eva made for me under my Christmas tree, I heard of her passing. It means even more to me now. I worked with Eva at United Airlines

I met Eva when we both worked at the rate desk in reservations. Then I took four semesters of German, and Eva was instrumental in my understanding of German while I was taking my classes. She was kind enough to help me when I didn’t understand the homework. Another student and I even came to her house in Arlington Heights one time so that she could tutor us. After Eva retired, we would have lunch from time to time, and our lunches would go on for several hours. Eva was always so positive. Sometimes I’d see her while I was working at the airport and she was flying off somewhere to visit someone. To Eva’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. Eva was truly a great person. I will miss her as well.

Ralph and I were and still are like brother's, if he was not at my house then I was at his.
Your mother always treated me like one of her own. One of my best memories growing up was spending three weeks in Germany with her and Ralph. I will always treasure those days exploring the wonderful site's with them.
I will always think of her as Ma,
I am so very sorry for your loss
