Carol is my chosen sister and Eva was like a second Mom to me. She was one-of-a-kind so full of spunk and determination. To know her was to love and admire her. She will be so missed.

Carol and family, Dale and I send our sincerest condolences on Eva's passing. Although I only had the pleasure of visiting with Eva a few times during her stay at Chatham Retirement Resort it was easy to see what a fabulous person she was. Carol, your efforts early on for your Mom to share her meal times with our longtime family friend Maxine Legate was an absolute blessing for both of these beautiful women who were born eight days apart. Maxine has requested that we extend her deepest condolences to you on Eva's passing as these two ladies became inseparable during these past months attending most activities together in addition to their dining. In spite of many tears having been shed during these past couple of days, Eva's presence will never be forgotten ... their memories made together will forever remain a treasure for Maxine along with Eva's many dear friends at CRR. Sincerely, Sue & Dale

I always enjoyed my visits with Eva. She always had a puzzle or 2 on the table we would work at, and talk, with Buddy at an arm's reach. Rest in Peace Eva, you beautiful soul.
