Maddyson, it may seem that you and Dylan had so very litte time with Eva but in that time frame you had given her so much love and warmth that one could give. You have taught us all a valuable lesson in life that even tho issues were there, the amount of love over shadowed all. God Bless you Maddy and Dylan.

Eva has been prayed for and watched over by so many. We rejoice in her homecoming to Jesus and know that she will take the love given her on this earth by so many and share it with her heavenly Father. Know that she lives eternally in God's heaven and you will see her again. My prayers have been and will be with you always as you grieve her leaving your loving arms.
