I am shocked and saddened to hear of Eva's sudden illness and passing. I have just now learned of this in December, weeks before Christmas. I enjoyed working with her during my nine years with Fairview, also as one of the older gals. Thoughts and prayers for all of her loved ones, especially in this Christmas season.

Shannon and Wes,
Eva and I worked together over the last 2 years when she joined us at the St Paul clinic. I always felt that we were our own little team, and I considered her my friend. We heard so much about the two of you and your dad that we all could tell how much she loved and adored you. We will miss her very much.

I will miss Eva dearly. Im so fortunate to have had the privilege to get close with her and work by her side for some time. She has always had a positive attitude and light about her and always will to me.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I will miss Eva very much. I worked with her for many years and was always looked after by her. She made my work as a Prosthetist easy. It was just the other day me and a few others talked about how Eva was the Matriarch of the Admin Staff. She brought maturity and sensibility to the office. When things weren’t going right for me she would often call me her little kid and say “OK I’ll have to hold your hand and dress you in the morning”...
