To the Everett/Crump Family-- Our Family, Aunt Eva will be dearly missed. I remember the days when we lived in Chicago, we would have so much fun listening to Aunt Eva, Aunt Edna & my Dad (affectionately known as Uncle Jim-Jim or Jimmy)tell stories about growing up in Newport News, VA. Then Aunt Eva & my Dad would start arguing with each other and would have us all rolling on the floor laughing (literally)!! I will forever keep those memories in my heart. May God be with you during this time of grief and know that we are here for you.

Love always your cousins,

Tasha & Marion Brittain

Oh how my heart is so sadden by the passing of my dear Aunt Eva, she was the light in the Everett/Crump Family. Oh how I cherish those moments when she lived with cousins Sandra,Larry & Lori in Chicago back in the day. Tasha, Danny & I were young children/teens then and Aunt Eva would come over to our house for dinner and she would have us all laughing so hard about the stories on when she was growing up being the oldest sibling she would have Aunt Edna and our Dad(Jimmy) follow her every where she went and how much they would get on her nerves. There was never a dull moment with Aunt Eva. She would always make me laugh even when I was down. I remember my last time seeing her was when my Dad passed even then she had me laughing about something Dad said to her and they fussed with each other but would make up with each other. Aunt Eva you will always be in my heart, because you were a special lady to me and I only regret that when I moved to Georgia that I did not get to spend as much time with you like I wanted to. Well say hello to Daddy and Momma for me. There is indeed more laughter in heaven now. I love you cousins Sandra, Pat, Debbie and Carolyn. We now have to stay closer and have annual family get togethers or reunions. Take care, Love you cousin Tammy

Delphia and Faily,
You all are in my thoughts and prayers at the passing of your dear mother and loved one. I remember the good old days in the John Marshall Elementary era. Your mother steered you all with a firm hand and love. May the life she lived and the love she gave to each of you bring you some comfort in times like these.
Be encouraged and blessed.

Much of god's love to Ms. Crump's family. Years of mutual respect are recalled when I think of her and the children. She personifies both quality, and quality of life.
