March 22, 2022 at 11:09 amA smile that will live forever. She was a wonderful friend and we shared many laughs in college. She was loved by everyone at SFU and left an indelible mark on every student athlete she touched. To her husband and twins, my heart goes out to you. Prayers, Sean McGowan

March 22, 2022 at 7:40 pmDave and Bonnie Scott send our deepest sympathies to Eva’s family – we knew Eva during her close friendship and athletic adventures at Simon Fraser with our daughter Megan. Eva was always an exciting player and person – especially when she learned her hands could catch and shoot a basketball! She tolerated the triple D – Dan Dave and Darryl – and gave us much to enjoy as more than a player, but as a lovely person. Rest now Eva, rest and be happy. Hugs

EvaBoo – there are so many memories.
We always had such fun whenever we visited each other ; from my first visit to Vancouver to your visits to Jamaica. When I was about 16, I got the wonderful opportunity to visit my family all on my own – Uncle Johnny ,Uncle Bobby, Aunty Linda, Eva, Jay, Natalie and Sean. I was so excited to see everyone and only knew of Canada being cold, I actually got a tan there!!
I can still see Eva and myself on the balcony in our swimsuits taking pictures of ourselves – today these are called selfies!
Whenever you guys visited Jamaica we always had such fun. I’m so happy that on your last visit to Jamaica both you and Jay got to see Daddy before he got sick. He had such a good time that night at dinner. Happy you also got to meet Collin my husband finally in person – Eva and Collin and their quick and mischievous comebacks – they hit it off well !
Who can forget your Smile and Laugh! The laugh that makes you know that the joke was hilarious. You know the type that is loud and happy.
Your Face: I laugh to myself. I can see the funny face you make because I have said something clueless.
Like when you asked “how my sweet baby girl was doing” then asked me to send a walking picture in our Family chat and i said “oh of Ari? Sure”. And you said “yes please i know how you walk already!” . So happy that you opened that family chat for us all to keep in touch and we could share pictures of our kids, ourselves or just even send good wishes to each other.
I so appreciated that you would check on me when I first became a mom and assured me I was doing a good job . You would say ‘That’s normal – All Mom’s feel that way , you are doing fine’
Eva I will forever celebrate and hold you close in my heart ,as an example of the strength of a woman, daughter, sister, mother , wife and friend with the sweetest heart : protector of family and friends ; people who you hold close and love.
Now it’s time for you to rest. Rest EvaBoo
To all our family and friends – all the love
From Rae

March 22, 2022 at 9:00 pmA tribute to Eva: from Auntie Diane, and cousins, Mandi Browne Smith and Rachael Fung
When I think of Eva the following comes to mind: she was courageous, brave, a fighter, a calm presence, beautiful inside and out, and with a smile and laughter of pure joy, and I recall how these qualities impacted important occasions in our lives, how her very presence made you feel as if you were in a family group hug.
At my mum’s funeral which was the week of 9/11, Johnny and Bobby couldn’t attend because planes had been grounded over North America. How could we have a funeral for mummy without my brothers? Then Eva came from Cayman. She did the reading her father, Johnny, was to do. She was calm and confident and loving. She represented the overseas part of my family and brought us comfort.
She was one of Mandi’s bridesmaids. My heart filled with love as I watched my girls, Mandi and Rachael, and Eva holding hands in a circle of bridesmaids recognising the fact that my Mum, Grandma Peeps, who had passed, should be remembered on this occasion. Eva was part of our celebration.
When it was her turn. She brought Miguel to meet us and we were happy for her. Over the years, we had regular pictures of her lovely children, Andrew and Gail.
When Jay came here to go sailing around the island. Eva also came here to see him. We had dinner. Uncle Mansfield, (my husband) was still at a stage where he could converse and give his usual jokes, Rachael was happily pregnant and pleased to have her cousins meet her husband, Collin, for the first time. Eva said to Collin ‘You can relax, I like you already.’ Yes, Eva was direct. And yes, it was important for Eva to like you as well as love you. It was a happy evening. I can see her smile and hear her laughter. She was a blessing in our lives.
When I think of Eva I remember the hymn ‘All I ask of you is forever to remember me as loving you’. She loved Miguel and Andrew and Gail with all her heart. She loved all of us.
Please accept our apologies for not being able to attend the service, but we’ll be with you watching. D/Auntie D, Mandi, Rachael & Collin (from Jamaica and Barbados)

March 23, 2022 at 12:16 pmMike and I send our condolences to John, Jay and all of Eva’s family. I recruited Eva to SFU and coached her for four years. I am so grateful that she came to SFU and I was able to have her in my life.
She was a tough competitor, an incredibly hard working student and athlete. She bossed me around and I love it!
She had a smile and laugh that drew you towards her. She was thoughtful and kind. There is a whole in all of our hearts…
We will miss her and we love her. ❤️❤️❤️

I miss you already…..

March 23, 2022 at 4:32 pmDearest John and Jay:
My heart breaks for you and for Eva’s family at this very sad time. We haven’t been in touch for so many years dear cousin, and am even more sad that the time drifted away. I pray that you and your family find comfort in the beautiful memories of Eva, and know that she will always be in your hearts💜💜💜
May her beautiful soul now Rest In Peace, and at last she is free of pain.
Love,

March 23, 2022 at 4:54 pmMy dearest Eva, you were a beautiful piece of sunshine. I will remember you on the hill at SFU with fondness, working hard on and off the court…a tremendous competitor! Your laughter filled the room and your kindness filled my heart. My deepest condolences to Eva’s family.
SFU PBs says
March 24, 2022 at 1:26 pmEva was our teammate, our leader, and most importantly our dearest friend. On and off the court, she was a force to be reckoned with. She was a rare combination of the most talented and hardest working person on the court. She set high standards for herself and challenged us all to meet them. There was nothing more motivating than watching Eva block a shot (not surprisingly she still holds many SFU records for blocked shots) and few things were more powerful than seeing her walk onto the court. Off the court, simply put, we loved her and are so grateful for the impact she had on each of our lives. She filled our locker room and our lives with laughter. She had a presence that was – and will always be – felt and remembered. Life was better when Eva walked into the room. Words cannot describe how much we will miss her, but we are so grateful and humbled to have had the honor of loving Eva and having her in our lives.
Forever in our hearts,
Tekki Brown-Hrynwin, Karen Cornish, Joanna Fournier, Teena Frost, Erin Hobin, Nikki Johnson, Joby McKenzie, Amanda Mulholland, Candice Odgers & Megan Scott
Linda and John Edgell says
March 24, 2022 at 1:27 pmOur connection to Eva is limited to her basketball days when she and our daughter Karen were teammates. Eva was a pillar in every sense of the word. A post to be reckoned with, a beautiful woman worthy of a pedestal, and a support to her teammates and community. She was a fierce competitor on the court and a gentle fun loving spirit off the court. She will be missed by her basketball clan, but not nearly as much as her family will miss her. RIP Eva and to her husband, her children, her father, her brother and her extended family and friends, our heartfelt condolences. May your happy memories sustain you. Our thoughts are with you.
Ann Stafford says
March 26, 2022 at 12:02 pmJohn and I would like to express our heartfelt condolences to Eva’s family on their profoundly sad loss. We knew her as a child with Barton, Elaine, Johnny, Gail and Jay, sailing and playing tennis. May she Rest In Peace.
