So sorry for your loss she was such a nice lady God bless
Joyce, Pat and your families, I just heard of Eva’s passing today. I feel we all lost a wonderful lady. I so enjoyed having coffee with her most mornings at Dunkin Donuts. She was so special in so many ways.
Joyce, I am so glad I left my cart of groceries at Shaws to have a short but meaningful with Eva in the parking lot a few weeks ago. I will keep her in my prayers and heart forever. Love to all, Betty
Dear Pat, Joan and Family,

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom, mom-in-law, and grand mom.
I met her a couple of times over the summer but have heard so much about her over the years. She was beautiful, wise and an inspiration.
Thinking of all of you at this very difficult time.
God Bless,

So sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother. She will be truly missed.

I was introduced to Eva years ago by her son Pat. She was a sweetheart and I will miss her. She loved to cook and did so on the occasions I visited her home. She welcomed me like a son. Not often in life do you meet somebody that make you feel wonderful like your own mother.
