| Message | I think about Eve often and fondly remember the fun times we had together in law school and afterwards. Eve was with me to celebrate at some of my most memorable moments (the last day of the bar exam, my wedding - just a few I remember the most) and I celebrated many of hers (her graduation from law school, birthdays...) I also remember that we were there for each other at some low points. I am still so sad that I was not there with Eve during the last weeks of her life. I miss her undying friendship, her humor and compassion. Thank you for sharing this beautiful website. What a tribute to our Eve. I will never forget that face, my friend, Eve. |

| Message | This is such a shock. In an era when it is fairly easy to locate past classmates and friends, I was trying to locate Eve. We went to school together from 1st grade to 3rd grade. We were best friends during that short time. Eve lived in a beautiful old house on Palm Lane in Phoenix, Az. I have such GREAT memories of her (and you, as well, Barbara) in that house, with the creaking wood floors and the almost perfect breakfast nook. We would swim all summer. I remember Eve would always make sure to give me her hand-me downs. She did this because I was much smaller than her, but mostly because she knew that my Mom didn't have the means to provide a lot for me. Eve was a kind and giving person even at that age. I am sorry that I missed getting in touch with her again because Eve has always remained an important part of my childhood. I am truly sorry for your loss. |

| Message | Eve and I were second cousins. I have memories of Eve at family get togethers; she was always so fun to be around and I adored her. I was only about 6 or 7. I loved her long hair and wanted to have hair like her! I always thought she was the most beautiful person I knew. I just realized her middle name is the same as my first name! I didn't know her that well,but I'm glad I did. |

| Message | I knew Eve from her good friend Erica Olson. I am certain that Eve and I would have been close friends if I had stayed working at Kirkland & Ellis longer because just before I left the firm, I was assigned to be her mentor while she was a summer associate. Unfortunately, I left the firm before that happened...I know that we would have had a lot of fun. I remember Eve had a great spirit about her. I spent a day at a special shopping event with Eve and Erica at the Hollywood Palladium and we had lots of girly type fun together. I remember being amazed by how well rounded she was - in addition to being so smart, fashionable and pretty, she was also athletic. I know that Eve will never be forgotten by her friends and family |

| Message | I couldn't agree with Erica more about Eve's "vivacious laugh." And that "You just couldn’t ignore that laugh and it was impossible to not feel a little joy inside when you heard it!!" I would hear Eve laughing often when she would come down to Erica's office. She would swing by, get some gum then pop in to see Erica. Even with the door shut, I could hear it. It made me smile every time. Her beauty was unbelieveable. Erica captured it with some great shots of Eve. Her looks were so striking, you didn't want to take your eyes off of her. You wanted to see what she was going to do next. She was unpredictable. I so admired her brains, beauty, her ambition and yes, that laugh. She had it all. I think of her often and wonder what her future would have been like. The sky was the limit. I'm very happy to have known her. |

| Message | This is such a beautiful website, and of course, I still think of Eve often. She was such an incredibly loving friend who would do anything for those close to her. I think of her radiance on her 30th birthday, her close girlfriends gathered all around feeling dazzled by her, and the few hundred people there to celebrate her in Hollywood. And I have so many memories of trips to Starbucks and sharing my most vulnerable sides with her. We always felt so similar to one other and connected in those coffee breaks. And despite her sensitivity and kindness, Eve was as aggressive, talented and fierce a lawyer as they come - she was passionate! I remember the two of us staying up most of a Saturday night working in my house because the power was out at the office. She was spread on the floor with documents all around her frantically writing and working her magic. Of course, what everyone who even knew her just a little remembers is how lit up their day with her enormous hugs and vivacious laugh. You just couldn’t ignore that laugh and it was impossible to not feel a little joy inside when you heard it!! And I don’t think anything represents her zest for life more than the time she applied to be a deodorant spokesperson so she could be sponsored for an iron man - what a collage! She was a star. I continue to be touched by my memories of her beauty, graciousness, generosity, hilarity, and shared laughs, and I am touched by the love and grace of her family. Miss you Eve |

| Message | I, too, was privileged to know Eve for a short time. My favorite story of Eve is how she quickly learned to drive a manual-shift car in one hour of my anemic coaching. At that time, we all saw Eve's potential for this life, and a few saw her struggles in it. As time went on, she began to actualize her potential, but the exceedingly difficult struggle continued. She departed in an apparent loss of that struggle, but she also rose above it in leaving a legacy of care for others less fortunate. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall have their fill. |

| Message | When Eve and Emma and I were 27 we went to Thailand together and stayed in some pretty nasty huts near the beach. Every morning Eve would get up early and fearlessly—as she did everything—flag over a motorcycle and get the driver to drop her off at Starbucks. She'd find another ride back to our disheveled camp site and present Emma and I with latte and muffins and the three of us would sit around giggling and drinking Starbucks on the other side of the world. I loved those mornings; I loved all the time the three of us spent together--when we drove to Palm Springs for the weekend once and Eve shopped her way through the outlets with great passion. Or when we sat in the parking lot with Barbara outside Eve and Emma's house at Wesleyan the day after we graduated, trying to sell the furniture. I miss her utterly unique speech pattern and gestures and her wide open smile. And of course I miss that crazy laugh--it was so easy and SO much fun to get Eve to laugh. I loved her sense of adventure and her frankness and I loved being one of her partners in crime. |
