Nelda Sue "Stewart" Eves

My sister and I feel like we have lost a friend, mother, sister- all rolled into one. We loved our dear Nelda so very much. Her contagious laughter, her faith that she shared and taught, her wisdom, her willingness to listen to our problems and share hers with us, also. All of these things made Nelda a part of our lives and hearts. We are happy that she is with Jesus, but she will leave a hole in our hearts the size of her home state of Texas. She took such good care of our mother but she took wonderful care of us, too. She was family. But then Nelda loved people and never met a stranger, so everyone was family to her. We will love you forever and will see you again. Rest well. You so deserve that. Much love, Marty and Janie.

What an honour to spend 56 beautiful years with you, Mom. So grateful to have lived with you in every house and apartment you ever had! Though we surely were tested, our bond was like steel; absolutely unbreakable. I'm going to miss the way you gently hummed old southern hymns while driving, when there were silent moments between us. No words could adequately describe both my gratitude and deep love for you. We were so much more than best friends for many decades: we were soul mates, DNA twins- 2 peas in a pod. Save me a seat in the New City! Can't wait to be with you again. Love you, forever, Sweet Mom!
