I had never seen a strong person like Eve. She could always smile and thank God everyday while telling whoever cared that she will be okay. It's sad that in our last message she asked me to write about her upcoming show that will now never happen. Rest Well Evelyn Love (Lagu). pic.twitter.com/UKztD77vWu
