Grand-daughter of Eva I am sad our Matriarch is gone. Thankful to have seen her 10days before passing. She gave me a wise word. Glad to know we will see her on the other side!
I am a great grandson to Grandma Eva. I went to see her just a few days before her moving on. She recognized me and told me to stay strong in the Lord for He is coming soon. I will stay strong as she instructed. Thank you Grandma Eva for your prayers!
Knew the Ferrymans in Brazil. I have fond memories of visiting with them. Sorry for the family’s loss.
