Guestbook

  1. Mrs.Adams was a wonderful teacher!!!!!!!!!! I last saw her 2 or 3 years ago at the St. Lukes Christmas eve service. She was so warm and engaging. My condolences to her family for the loss of such a good mother and friend- and a good- but tough- teacher!!!!!!! Ted Wood

  2. Clara, I loved your sweet mother who always had a smile on her face and greeted me with great joy in her voice. And, you where one of my favorite students. Bettie Giesen Green

  3. Eva was a special lady, who always welcomed me, as I walked on LaJara..We had great chats, and she always had time for each person..She was a hard working person and was always busy, up into her late eighties.. I will never forget her smile and “hello”. My sympathy to all the family…Sarah Conger

  4. We loved Eva and will miss her and her stories of her history growing up. She told us the story of her meeting Frank and how he asked her to marry him. She always had a sweet smile. We will miss her coming up the the lake.

  5. I was visiting my sister, Mrs.Stan (Dora) Gibbs in Kingsland about 9 years ago and we were out for a walk and she introduced herself to us. She was so sweet and friendly _invited us for tea, but our other sister was at Dora’s home.

  6. I have always pictured Eva Rob as one of the grand ladies of the south. Her soft voice and accent touched my heart. My mother, Jane Terry Warden, is out of town right now and we are sorry to miss this chance to let you know how special Eva Rob was and to pay our respects for a very special lady. May God give you His peace, but you have the knowledge that she rests in His arms now.
