Dear Aunt Eva, I remember as a little girl traveling from theoil fields to Escalante stopping to see you and Uncle Spence and Grandma-Great. The best example of love ever how you took care of your beloved mother I'll never forget. I regret I didn't take the time these last few years to tell you how you touched my life. I love you Aunt Eva.
