So sorry to hear of dear Eva's death...she was my mom's best friend, and I thought of her so very often. I will always remember walking to her house on the Midway, eating tuna casserole. Loving thoughts to Paulette and Nat, you're in my prayers. May your memories sustain you now and always... be blessed!

Eva was one of the greatest women I have ever known. She was always supportive and had an open door for me during the roughest years of my life. I have learned so much from her especially bravery, stedfastness and spritualality. I am so greatful to have had her in my life especially because she is my best friend's mother!! God's Speed!!!
