Not sure what to say?

I knew Eva thru my great-uncle Ike Handleman and great-aunt Liz. Eva was a wonderful lady. I had met her several times in Marlin when she would visit uncle Ike and aunt Liz. In the last years I watched the love she bestowed on Aunt Liz when she came to St. Catherine's to take care of Aunt Liz.
She was always just a telephone call away. Knowing Eva was a blessing.
Daughter of Dolores Meyer and granddaughter of August Meyer (Aunt Liz's brother)
My prayers are with you

We will always remember the laughter and joy Gaga shared with us when your family visited us in Columbia, MO and when you made our first years in Texas special. Our hearts go out to the whole family. Love, Aron & Debora

Trudy, We are so sorry to hear that Eva has passed, but we know how ill she has been. I remember the times she and Frances and I got together and had so many laughts. I have a picture of her in my mind with her face full of laughter. I am adding the obituary to my family tree information. You and Howard are in our hearts and prayers.
Love, Wanda and Jack Weinblatt

I had the good fortune to meet Mrs. Kestner when I taught at Lake Waco Elementary School-what a gracious thoughtful person she was!
When a Jewish holiday occured, she taught our class the meanings.
Her son Jack was a favorite of mine.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
