Aunt Ev was always there for me. She was a very big part of my life and she meant the world to me. I remember when I got my wisdom teeth out and Aunt Ev brought me home from the hospital and brought me homemade pasta.,.This will be soft so you can eat it.. She said. She was always thinking of others, never herself. She lived a full life always traveling around the world to see what she could find. I know she is in heaven. I know her faith was strong and she is in a better place. I loved her dearly and she will be missed
