I’m so sorry I was out of town and did not not about Eva Nell until I returned. She was such a sweet person and we all worked with her and I saw her most every day when she was in our building. She never said anything derrogative about anyone and I’m just proud to have worked with and known her all those years. All her children were great but I knew Josh the best. He is one of the finest young men I have ever had the priviledge to know and work with. She was so proud of all her children and grandchildren and was quick to tell you this. May God watch over her and be with her family through these difficult times. SHE WILL BE MISSED!
