Eva Arlene Futch

“Message to my Loved Ones: When I’m gone – be happy that we had so many years together. I gave you my love and I thank you for the love you gave in return. Grieve for me if you must and bless the memories in your heart. It’s now time for me to travel alone – then when you must come this way, I’ll greet you with a smile. ~ Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Great-Great-Grandmother, Eva.

I loved each and every one of you despite calling you by the wrong names."
