Aunty Eva you were always available to family, friends and the Waikaka community churches, your musical and organ knowledge was well received by all who had the pleasure of your presence .
You were my godmother as well, never forgotten .
I think you must have been one of the most known godmothers to our family. We all have some of your creations be it framed paintings, brightly colored vases a Christmas card or a piece of jewelry to treasure.
Forever the most interesting looking parcel delivered to our mail boxes for special occasions as each year passed by.
remembered for your warm heart ,giving nature, talent for playing the piano and church organs.
