A Quiet Goodbye
By Bud Koenemund For Eva Gaither (9 September 1943 – 24 May 2022) I hold little faith in humanity, or in humans. But, I just said goodbye to one of the finest human beings I’ve ever met; one who has known me – quite literally – my whole life. She is one of the very few people who could ignore my “no hugs” rule and survive. It seems strange to write this on Memorial Day, when the one I memorialize did not serve in the military. She did, however, fight battles. Her combat took place on a much different field – the spiritual. She fought for hearts and souls across the world. If I am wrong – and for her sake, I hope I am – and there is such a place, Eva Gaither is now in Heaven.
