I was so saddened to hear about Eva's passing. She was without a doubt the most gentle woman I've ever known, and taught me many years ago how to make some of the Lebanese dishes I've grown to love. I think of her with thoughts of affection,, and wish her a time of love and great joy reuniting with her family in heaven. God bless your family.
