Dear Chris, Kevin and Mary...may you find strength within each other in the days ahead working with the memories of Tante Eve. You know how blessed we were to have had her in our lives for so long. It will take some time to fill the hole in our hearts that was her. She was a gift from God and she taught us much. May we all be so loving and devoted. My prayers for you three...Love, Nikki

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Chris, Kevin and Mary,
Tante Eve will be missed so very much! How lucky we were to have had her in our lives for so long! She had the kindest heart and loved the kids like her own grandchildren! I will always cherish our memories!

Dear Kevin and Chris, Our deepest sympathies to both of you. Your mom was such a sweetheart! We loved your mom and loved visiting her when the girls were younger. We especially enjoyed her beautiful decorations at Christmas time! Know that our prayers are with you at this difficult time. May the Lord bring comfort and peace as you know she is home and Heaven has gained another great Saint! All our love and prayers, Nick, Joan, Michaela, and Angela Degaitas

Kevin and Chris,
I was saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was truly one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
From the time I was a little girl living next door - to all the times she was so nice to my children when they would come to visit their Gramma (Mary Read), she was just such a pleasure to be around. She was a wonderful neighbor to my mom as well and I always appreciated that as they aged together.
She touched the lives of all who...

Kevin and Chris, I have fond memories of our childhood and I remember the nice things my mom would always say about your mom; and you know moms alway know best. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Chris & Kevin, may the Lord be with you. Auntie Eva is in a wonderful and safe place now. As I remember from Holy Mass, the beginning of life starts when we enter the Lords real home, Heaven. He will take very good care of her there. May the Sun shine down on you from Florida. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
