My heart felt sympathy to Eva’s children and family.
Having had the chance to know and work with Eva for several years along with seeing her become the teacher she wanted to be was a good part of life.
Eva was a very special person who touched many lives around her and always had a smile for all.
Eva, you will be so missed but always loved.
We are very sorry for your loss.
Caleb, my heart goes out to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Celeb, Rochelle, and family,
My family and I are saddened by the news of the loss of Eva. Our prays and thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. We are mourning with you. Eva was a special lady. She had many talents, and the students loved her. I can remember having many talks with her when I worked at the High School. She went with Melinda and her class on a field trip. And I know they all had a wonderful time with Eva. There is really no word I could say to ease your pain. Just remember God is with you and walking this road with you. Also, I know that your great strength, family and friends will help you at this time of loss. God Bless

God bless you all,

Caleb and Rochelle,
You two are in our thoughts and prayers. Your mother was a wonderful woman; open, honest,and very easy to talk to. She will be greatly missed. If there is anything either of us can do for you in your time of need, know that we are here.
May God be with all of you in this time. For a lack of better terms, Eva was a wonderful person and her legacy will live on in the lives of all those she touched. As a high school teacher myself, I have found myself quite frequently using some of her one-liners and activity formats in my classroom. To Caleb and Rochelle, I offer my deepest sympathies and prayers for all of you.
May god bless,Evs will be missed she was a lot of fun to work with at Blairs……..
