Condolences to John and children. Eva, from their early days at Emory gave so much energy and creativity to the entire Atlanta metro community from the civil rights era to the finishing act in Sandy Springs. So few of her kind pass this way. Rest in peace Eva.

When I first moved to Grogans Bluff in Sandy Springs, Eva was the first person on my door step and made me a believer of the Republican party. Every place she went luncheons or meetings she had me under her wing. I loved being a hostess for the women's republican party in my home. I loved you then Eva and always will, thanks for loving and caring for me. Your smile won me over

Eva was a lovely lady, and a wonderful member of our community. If not for her never ending spirit and organizational skills there would not be a City of Sandy Springs.
