Many happy memories of my Aunt Eva from when I was young. She was good to me and I loved her. I believe she is reunited with those that went before. She’s telling stories and playing cards and having a great time in that Mansion in the sky that good people are promised. Eva, someone else will care for your wood floors, there. They are probably marble, anyway, but I promise it won’t be me. Love you so much.

My sincere condolences to the family. Eddy and I were classmates and neighbors when we lived on Dayton street. I remember Laurie and her ketchup sandwiches. Each to their own! good memories of long ago days…Mrs. Stone was a very nice lady and always made her family a priority.

Karel Schutt says
Die Meisten Alle Sachen Sind Gut. I will always remember this mom. You used to say it all the time. Most all things are good. You taught me that strength comes from within. It’s the ability to do what you don’t want to do, or think you can’t simply because it needs to be done. I am so going to miss you…but my heart is filled with joy that you are now with dad, and you are both in the presence of the Lord. The sorrow I feel is for myself and those who love you…not because you are finally free of pain and suffering. You deserve to finally find peace. I love you.
Marion Lynch says
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, strength to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Laura Wittenberg says

Love Laura

Will always have good thoughts of Eva. She was so good when we would show up with all our family and made us feel so welcome. I am sure Leonard welcomed her with open arms when they got together again.

Such a wonderful lady has left a spiritual connection as we said “our Father….. ” she has gone home.
