Waters of Mercy Church of God

Our church brings services to Coninental Manor twice a month. Every time we would come Eva would be front and center just smiling a smile that lit up the whole room. She would share stories with us from her past and just smile as we sang and the little ones would twirl about. She made it a point to know each of us personally and we all absolutely loved her. We were all sad to lose a member of our church family but we are SO excited that she is Home with her family now. No longer does she have to sit in a wheelchair... We believe she had a grand homecoming when she got to the Great Gates. She was an amazing woman and her memory will always be with us. God bless you, her family and friends. We know that she's no longer with us here on earth, but praise God we all have an opportunity to see her again.

Jerry and Ruth. My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Aunt Eva. We would like to be there for you but we are battling severe snow weather at this time. I remember how much fun we used to have when you guys came to visit us and how much fun we had when we went to visit you. Aunt Eva always had a smile and a hug for all of us. At least she is now at peace and pain free. I know Uncle Amos and Jimmy were waiting for her with open arms. Love to you all. Sandi and Dave and family in Canada.

Kelly and family, the world lost a kind,gentle soul. Eva Mae was a staple in our lives for many years. When I think back about all the fun times we had when you lived with her Kelly they will always be warm memories. Heaven gained a angel and I take comfort in knowing she will be with the ones she loved and missed so much.
