    I am so sorry to hear about Eve’s passing. She was such a warm and compassionate person - especially at Aurora Healthcare. I knew her through her daughter Laurie who was a wonderful Director of Volunteer Services while I was a volunteer there. Also her daughter Tracie who provides excellent physical therapy at Aurora Rehab. My sympathy to all of her family and many friends.

    I am deeply saddened to hear about Eve’s passing. She was truly a remarkable woman, and one that I will forever be grateful to. I worked at the old St. Catherine’s with Eve on the Rehab floor. Her knowledge, compassion and integrity showed in everything she did and is surpassed by none. Not only did I see Eve at work, I also had the pleasure of visiting her at various family functions, as she is Godmother to my cousin, Brian. Eve had wit, humor and a smile on her face, always. Rest well, Eve. Job well done.

    Eve was one of the most giving person I ever knew. She was sweet but stern, kind, funny and we were lucky she shared her compassion of nursing with all who knew her. It was my pleasure to have worked with her at St. Catherine's and Aurora Health. Rest in peace, and bless you dear Eve. My heartfelt condolences to her family with wishes for peace and comfort.
