It is with both sadness and rejoycing that we celebrate Aunt Eva's new home in heaven. What a very special LADY. She was like a second Mother to me all my life. I wish I could have been closer to her. Seattle was so far away. However, I look forward to meeting her someday in that Glory land. Darlene Cowin

Thank you to everyone that has entered a message in the guest book. Grandma Eva would have been very impressed with the technology and I am touched by each one of them. It would be nice to stay in touch with extended family. We often had visitors from long distances come to see Grandma and in that way we stayed in contact. I hope that will continue. Grandma was very lucky to have so many friends and a close family. Her grandchildren as well as greats and great great (Tristin)all had such beautiful pink flower arrangements at her funeral (she was our "pink" grandma). But more importantly Grandma had very frequent visits from all of them even though they live long distances from Plymouth. Just last Friday (one week ago today)my cousin Steves daughter Eva and I went for a nice walk outside with Grandma. Eva flew from Texas and spent the afternoon with Grandma which was routine for her and her brother from Mass. and cousins from Az. We were so lucky that even at age 107 grandma always knew us and we had long talks and many happy memories. We will miss her and cherish the memories.

I have heard so much about "Grandma Eva" from Julie. We work together at the Prescription Center in Osage. I'm sure you all have heard stories of her life and think of all the changes she has experienced, radio, TV, cars, telephones, computers, and the list goes on...Treasure the memories of this special grandma.
