  13. I’m so sorry to hear of Eva’s passing. She was a wonderful person! She was a good friend of my aunt, Dolores Rice, and my father, RB Moore. He knew her through Southern Bell and Dolores. I know Eva is rejoicing in Heaven with her Lord, and with her friends. My prayers are with her family.

  14. I sure did love me some Mrs. Eva. She was one of the sweetest ladies ever.
    I have known her and her family since I was little growing up at Calvary Baptist Church on Haywood Road.

    While working at the Asheville Police Dept I spent a lot of time at the Court House and I always made sure I found Mrs. Eva there in the district attorney’s office. Seeing her always brightened my day. 🌞

    I’m sending lots of love, hugs and prayers to the family. May GOD BLESS each of you. 🙏❤️
