I am sorry for your loss of your dear Eve. May you receive comfort from one another, loving friends, and God's Word. It is through the privilege of prayer that we can experience God's love and comfort in the most intimate way. May you find comfort as you pour out your heart to him in prayer because he cares for you.
(Psalm 46:1)

Eve, was such a beautiful person full of love and she never judged anyone. I am grateful to said she was a great mother-in-law. I am sad that I never had the opportunity to thank her for warmth and kindness. She did a wonderful job raising her kids and her love for her grandchildren is evident by their love for her. Many blessings and peach to the family.
