When I talked to Auntie Eva, it was like being back in high school talking to my best friend. There was nothing I couldn't or wouldn't say to her; laughs were never lacking. She was a tremendous listener.<br /><br />It was by listening to her, however, that I learned what a truly amazing woman Auntie Eva was. Her courage, her strength, her wisdom, but even more than all of that, her faith, guided her through this life...right to the very end.<br /><br />She was an incredibly brave woman who led and did not follow. She often said she did it her way, and that she did. I so admired all of the qualities that made her who she was. I will no doubt miss our conversations - which often went on for hours, our laughs -about the silliest things, and the stories she would share from long ago. Thankfully though, I will not have to miss her spirit. You see I carry Auntie Eva's spirit inside of me. She is my heart and soul and she is with me everywhere I go. <br /><br />Yes, you did it your way Auntie Eva, and it was fabulous. <br /><br />I love you.<br /><br />Your Niece,<br /><br />Paula
