I was just thinking of Eva recently - she was my aunt and I always saw her smiling and cooking and enjoying life at 1211 Gilbert Place with Mama and Papa. She was so sweet and will be in my heart forever. I'm glad I got to see her one last time a few years ago and give her a big hug. I remember hearing stories about how happy she was in her home on Newman Avenue in the Bronx with Jorge - I always strive now to be as happy and beautiful as Eva was!
I love this picture. As most of you know, grandma was the best cook in the family. No one compared. She loved making food for everyone. When the grandkids slept over she made the best mini triangle pancakes. Alyssa and I would run right to the kitchen when we woke up.
