Eva was a dear friend and my roommate in nursing school. We had lots of fun and many good times while we were studying our heads off. She always had wonderful humor and kindness. We kind of lost contact through the years as I live in Iowa and she lived in Arkansas but she will Always have a special place in my heart. I look forward to seeing you again Eva. Cathy Henson

Jason and Lance, you guys won’t remember me but I worked with your mom at Eastern many years ago. She even taught me in class. Our families spent the week together in a condo in Gulfport when Mrs. Dalto took us all down for a vacation. Your mom was the best!!! Even though your mom and I didn’t stay in touch after I left Eastern, I felt she was and will always be my friend. She and I shared so many laughs together. Please know I will be praying for you guys. And I am so sorry for your great loss.

I am sad to see that Eva has died. She and I were in high school together (McCrory) when her family lived her. She was always so much fun—and a sweet friend. I send sincere sympathy.
