My sincere sympathy to the family and friends. Eva was a beautiful person inside and out.??

Thank you Eva for all the love that you gave and shared with others.

Aunt Eva, you were a strong woman and a positive influence in my younger years. Have a wonderful reunion with our family in heaven. ❤️

Aunt Eva, you will be so missed and we love you with all our heart.

Sending love to all of you. Eva and Pete showed me how family extends far beyond blood relations. Their legacy of Sunday supper open to all warmed my heart. May it be a tradition that continues to get passed down through your beautiful family.

I only knew Eva Pitccock through her daughter Cathy, her son Hugh, and her grandson Dan. From the anecdotes I heard from them about their mother and grandmother, she was a very remarkable woman having fostered and raised so many children. The following passage was obviously written about her: “In a harbor, two ships sailed, one setting forth on a voyage, the other coming home to port. Everyone cheered the ship going out, but the ship sailing in was hardly noticed. To this, a wise man said, ‘Do not rejoice over a ship setting out to sea, for you cannot know what terrible storms it may encounter, Rejoice rather over the ship that has safely reached port and brings its passengers home in peace.’ And this is the way of the world. When a child is born, all rejoice; when someone dies, all weep. We should do the opposite. For no one can tell what trials await a newborn child; but when a mortal dies in peace, we should rejoice, for they have completed a long journey, and there is no greater boon than to leave this world with the imperishable crown of a good name.” Enjoy your well-earned crown, Pa-Pa.

So sorry for the loss of Aunt Eva. I have such fond memories as a child of spending summer vacations with my cousins at Uncle Pete and Aunt Eva's house. She will be missed❤

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
