Dear Aunt Eva, I wish I had been able to know you in life. I am your niece: Mary's daughter, Derlene Marie Kirby Johnson. My brother, Aaron Emmanuel Kirby, passed away in 1999.

I know my mother is yearning in her heart to be able to get back in touch with her family members, and re-connect. I would likewise like to meet my Northern relatives, or at least be in contact. I pray that she and I will be granted the blessing of such an opportunity.

If any family members are reading this, please feel free to email me: derlenejohnson66@gmail.com.

Aunt Eda, I know from reading your tribute just now that you loved to spend time with your children and grandchildren. Just from looking at your picture, I believe I would have enjoyed spending time with you, too. Love,

Derlene Marie

Linda - My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My mother in law was such a role model for my daughter, Theresa and to my son Aaron an my grandsons Kristopher and Kymere and Ethan. Mom always opened her armsto me and we had a special relationship no one understood. You will be missed but never forgotten. You will be with daddy now. God Bless u and keep you safe and in his arms
