My husbands Mother
Such a sweet, quiet and caring person. Loved the quiet talks I had with her. Eva loved her soaps and tv shows. She was a very hard working woman. Her house was always so Clean and she put out the most beautiful garden every year. She could can up anything and made bread and rolls that still make my mouth water to think of them. She came from a family of 16 children and had 14 children of her own so she never had a lot of worldly goods in her life, but with so many to love and to love her, I'm sure she didn't miss them too much. She had more than money could ever buy. We miss you Eva.
