To all of Ms. Eve's family,
We are so sorry for your loss.
Please accept our condolences. You have our deepest and heartfelt sympathy at this very difficult time.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Our son Jonathan took art lessons from Ms. Eve for many years when he was in Mountain Home Public schools. He loved her as his art teacher. He had other art instructors over the years, but none could compare with Ms. Eve. She helped Jonathan produce some very nice works of art. I have several hanging in my home. Jonathan has several in his home. His art works also have been given as gifts to very dear friends.
Ms. Eve was a wonderful lady. She will be missed.
Sincerely,
Mike and Dianna Roller

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at John 5:28,29
(28). "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (29) and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment".
