Aunt Eva, you will be sorely missed by all of us left behind. You gave of yourself to so many people and your memory will be treasured for many years to come. Thank you for your wonderful example of a true Christian woman. Love always, Rick & Eve, & Haley too.
Eva was a wonderful person. I remember many days going home with Tammy in high school. It has been a long time since I have seen her but think of those times often.

Mrs. Eva was one of our Foster Grand parents at Barren Co. Head Start. We grow to love these ladies like they are our own grandmothers. She was a sweet lady and we all loved her. She will be missed. Prayers for the family.

Richard, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Loved you so much! I will never forget all them times you and uncle Dick came to see me on Sunday afternoons after church. If I wasn’t there that Sunday y’all would fuss at me and tell me I couldn’t let things and people of this world keep me from going. I will never forget how special you made me feel. You was just at my house about 3 weeks ago telling me how peaceful and how much you loved it here! You was one special lady to me! I loved you so much!!! Love and prayers to you all!!!
I will always remember Aunt Eva’s and Uncle Dick’s visits with Ninnie in Leitchfield. Her laugh was contagious and I will miss her. Love you guys.
Tammy & family ,We are so sorry for your loss . Your family has our deepest sympathy .
