Aunt Eva, A faithful woman of God, whose being is of strength, wisdom, truth, love and devotion. I will always cherish our visits sharing God's word. How she would listen and advise me of life's adversities. Comforting me from her heart, sharing and instilling words of understanding, calm and forgiveness. Aunt Eva's love and passion for our Lord inspires me and I can only hope that one day I will be a fraction of the good and faithful servant she has been. I pray we have the peace of all understanding knowing that Aunt Eva now sits at the feet of our Lord as she sings in the midst of all that is Holy. The everlasting memories I hold dear within my heart will comfort me knowing someday I will be with my family in the presence of our Lord and Savior. Aunt Eva has made me a better person and I am truly grateful that God chose her to be our Aunt Eva. I will forever love and cherish her. She has blessed my life!

There are not enough words to let you know what a great person Eve was. It was my pleasure working with her at Woodbridge for over twenty years. She was very devoted to all the children at Woodbridge school. Her involvment in C.S.E.A. kept all the school district personnel and the board on their toes; during negotiations she never let them get by with anything.She was tough and never gave in. Whenever she went up to speak they all listened because when she spoke, she not only spoke for herself she spoke for everyone, and they knew she was right. She always put the children first.
I have many wonderful and impacting memories of dear Eve.
