A wonderful lady that made folks glad to see her every time they saw her. Linda & I were away & unable to be there for the Burke, Gaetan families & the friends who have so many fond memories of Eva. Life can be a short trip even if we live 200 years. Eva lived a life knowing she would find an eternal life in Heavenly Grace. God Bless her for teaching that Faith to her Family & Friends.
From "Out on the Mira"

Our hearts are heavy with sadness, but filled with deep love and appreciation for Aunt Eva. To John, Rachel, Blaine, Catherine, and families, we sent you love. Eva was a second mother to so many of us who always looked forward to going “home”. Her sense of humor, boundless generosity, and unconditional love provided a safe harbour throughout the years. She will be profoundly missed… but heaven will be shining a little brighter.

I am heartbroken by the loss of Aunt Eva.
She was such a beautiful person with a larger-than-life personality, a great sense of humour and an unforgettable laugh.
Her hospitality was second-to-none and she always had a way of making everyone feel special and important. She was fun-loving, energetic, tough as nails and fit for anything. You couldn’t help but adore her.
Her and John's amazing kids and grandkids certainly inherited all these qualities.
I will miss her terribly and will always remember her with the utmost fondness.
My thoughts are with you all.
Much love and strength,
Robert Burke
