Sister Germaine Chrupalo

Eva was a frequent visitor to the Bethlehm Retreat Centre at Nanaimo. Her presence was always inspiring and I felt so privleged to know such a "spititual" and wholesome woman.Eva was a guest at a brunch we had at the House of Bread Monastery, November 10,2009. She was so full of life and cheerful. I have such fond memories of Eva having known her for just 13 years.

Moshe

Eva, we just became close friends and you left us. You told me that: "in my age, I was advised not to buy green bananas" so when I came to see you on Nov. 4, I brought you one.
We'll miss you.

Eva touched my life more that she knew. I started missing her when I moved away and now I miss her even more. She will never be forgotten by myself and my family. Her laughter will live on with us through all of our fond memories of her.

Sally Felka


Eva was a dear friend. I miss her enormously. Although she had no family, she created family and community through her sharp wit and generous heart. I saw her just before she died and although she was tired, she seemed to have her wonderful sparkle about her. May she soar into grace.

Eva lit up a room when she entered. The twinkle in her eye along with her positive attitude lifted everyone's spirits. She will be sorely missed.
