On October 15th, Heaven received another angel. Eva Weimer was that angel. Eva had been part of the Waterford Church of the Brethren ever since I can remember and even way before that. She was loved by so many and she loved so many herself. Eva dedicated her life in being a Christian lady. I think we as a church were blessed to have her be with us.
Eva was a lot of things to a lot of people. A daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, a friend, an influential person, and of importance, a sister-in-Christ. She held everyone with the utmost respect. She was that kind lady that you can talk to her about anything. I remember going to Sunday services and one of the faces I always looked forward to seeing and talking to was Eva.
I got to know Eva from the Waterford Church of the Brethren. One of the things that I will remember her being is loyal to the church. She been there through all the changes the changes the church as gone through. She dedicated herself to help the church in whatever she can do. Eva done it all. When the pastor is away on a Sunday, she makes sure someone is there to fill the pulpit. The hymnals we sing in church, she picks them out. She also lead the songs. I think one of the things that she had done that made her happy was she would lead Sunday school. Eva loved the children. She loved to spend time with much kids as possible because I believe that she made a difference in their lives. Eva was also a deacon, attended church board meetings, went to most of the church functions, and everything else I think of, she did. This is what I call “God's work” and she loved doing it. In my opinion she was the heart and soul of the church. The church is going to miss her very much
Eva made a big difference in my life. I will always remember her being one of my biggest supporters in my decision in joining BVS. She always had something great to say about that. Another thing that I will remember her by is she would make this delicious chocolate cream pie. Man, that is the best desert in the world to me. No one made it like Eva can. She took the time to hand me over her recipie for the chocolate cream pie so I would attempt to make it when I went to BVS. She wanted to leave her mark where ever I went. It just makes me feel good to remember all that about her. I remember she was one of the 6 people that actually showed up at the church of New Year's eve 2006. We all just played games, ate goodies, talked and just social with one another. I will also remember that she loved to play games. Eva would have fit in so well here at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, MD. I do that here with the older folks on Sunday evenings and they would have just loved her. I think of her smile when she would do something to influence my life in anyway she can.
Eva Weimer will be missed. I still think her presence is still with us and we (everyone she knows) will never forget her. She is a major part of my life and I will always look to tell stories about the wonderful lady that made a big difference in my life as well as other. I know God is pleased with her and I know she is up in Heaven, just chillin, having a great time. This is in memory of Eva Weimer, sister-in-Christ, who I will never forget.
