I met Cousin Eva as a young girl.  She returned to Tennessee since being away for over 17 years.  Everyone was so excited to see her and it was our first meeting.  After I became an adult, my husband and I visited the state of California and visited a few of the relatives there.  We spoke with her during our stay.  She loved her family.

When she moved to Memphis she contacted me and I would always call her during her birthday.  Several times, I would go visit her.  I went to California on a business trip and she gave me her brother's name and number.  Once her brother Jack and wife came to Memphis, I went to see them during their visit.  My uncle wanted to see her and I took him and his wife for a brief visit.  

She was always pleasant to speak with and we would chat.  The last time we spoke was a day after her birthday.  When I was traveling I would call her and we would speak briefly.  I was shocked to learn of her passing.  It is a void because she was one of my October babies.  May she rest in peace until Judgment Day.  

Love and miss you
Debbie

To my beloved big Sis. There’s too many memories but I’ll just highlight a few. From the time you swung a baseball bat at me on 22nd St
(lol) to taking care of me and Calvin when mom was hospitalized. To looking for you at family dinners on Bronson, only to find you on the back porch smoking when you supposedly had quit (lol). To the Thanksgiving dinners in La Puente. And I’ll never forget the South Africa trip you treated me to. I love 💕 you. R.I.P.  You’re reunited with Bill and Mom and Calvin, Lontine, Curtis, Miles, and all the others that have gone on before us. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I think of the times when Aunt Eva and I rode the bus downtown Los Angeles Monday through Friday to our government jobs.    I looked forward to seeing her each morning Me and my Aunt on the bus chatting it up.  (I loved it).  She retired and moved I missed that journey way back then and reflectively right now.  Eva was sweet, kind and gentle from what I remember.  I like my name Edwina because Aunt Eva.  Her name began with an E there is an ease about her that that made being around simple and fun.  God is hugging her and saying "Job well done".  Rest in Peace Aunty!

Love,
Edwina (Toni) Hunter
