Too many to name, all her nieces and nephews and her beloved Sherry Lish and Sandy Walton. Chapel viewing will be held Wednesday November 10, 2010 at 11:00am.

Will mention her on future episode of The Tantara Hour, BYU Radio, affiliated with Sirius-XM radio. Still remember hearing "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" for the first time in Palo Alto, California and hearing a press release that she had studied and sung at BYU. Best, Ron

Dear Cousins, Michelle, Jason, and Damon,
and grand children of dear aunt Eva,
How sad for all of us to lose our parents, doesn't matter their age. But how happy for those on the other side waiting for the last of their siblings, their sweet wife and their youngest daughter. Everyone, including me, can only imagine the celebration, singing, and happiness. How many times do you think they have been asked to "hold it down, please" ?
My dad (Max) has been gone for 28 years, which is almost unbelievable to me and you never quite get over it. Of course, it gets better, which is hard for you to understand right now. It really does get better, but there are just some times that you just need their wisdom and love. I know I could have really been comforted by my dad's reassurance and love the last several years.
Please know that I am thinking of and praying for you all. Love to all of you.
