Prayers for both sides of the family. I can only imagine what she saw when she opened her eyes in sweet Beulah land. She has earned her crowns and now laying them at Jesus' sweet feet. Eva is singing songs that have never been heard on this earth. She's walking streets of gold with all her loved ones that have gone on before her. I know your sad and your hearts are heavy. But Eva is happy and more alive than she could ever have been on this earth. She will never age ,she will never suffer anymore. God walked through his garden and picked Eva and took her home to be with him forever. I will see you again my friend.
