I remember going to your house as a kid at Christmas time and you always had the most delicious things to eat. The dips and sweets were the best! You raised a fun group and I'm so glad my grandpa met Sheri and we all got to know each other.

— Andrea Oppenhuizen Acker

Aunt Eve, you will be missed. I remember many times of coming to your house for the holidays. Us girls used to try and get out of doing the dishes... That was before dishwashers. I will cherish those memories and know that you are in a better place. You lived a very long and wonderful life. You were a very wonderful person.

— Wayne & Dianna Fuller
