We are grieving the recent loss of our Aunt Eva. Because of Aunt Eva, Mr.Toney, Bobbie, Fred, Mary Lee, and Leonard, my family enjoyed a warm and loving relationship shared during our growing up with one another. We leaned on each other for all sorts of support as we lived a short distance from each other in our rural community.
Aunt Eva was a great lady, who somehow forgave all the mischief Bud, Fred, and I could think up, for which I will always be grateful.
I will miss her sweet smile and disposition.
She has earned her place in Heaven as she now rests in the loving arms of Jesus.
