There's an old chinese adage that says one is truly blessed to meet just one person in their lifetime that they can call a friend. Many don't. Eva and I were that to each other. I won't begrudge her passing, cause I know who's she's with now. I just hope as always, she will put in a good word for me.
Angie:
So sorry about the loss of your Grandmother. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

I remember miss Eva Morris since I was a child. I seen her almost every Monday at the nh. I can remember her driving her son around in his wheelchair. The Bible promises a beautiful hope for the future when our dead loved ones will live again . John 5:28,29 and Psalms 37:11,29.
