Eva is Aunt Eva, Grandmother Vann's sister who lived past 100. She lived in Waycross, Ga. I believe--there was a big celebration for her 100th (Mother sending I believe one hundred dollar bills, taped together{maybe she just taped them for Grandmother Vann, but she was actively involved}. - Marilyn Espy McClendon, May 2010
