Dr. Karl and Eva Wilson will always have a special place in our hearts. It was under their leadership we received so much and truly loved and appreciated their labors at Dueber Methodist. We worked with them on many committees and groups and projects. They both made a tremendous impression on our lives spiritually. We will miss Eva as I just went to see her at Canterbury this fall. We send our sympathy to the family. Bill and Betty Phelps

I would like to extend my affection especially to Christy, Wesley, Ruth,and Dorothy. Everyone knows of the love and care you gave to Eva in these last years. Til we meet on that beautiful shore

Eva will always hold a special place in our hearts as well as DR. Karl Wilson. I remember overnights at the Wilson house with Lois Anne and Eva always told me to make sure I got enough sleep so my eyes would sparkle. Eva and Dr. Wilson both were very influential in my spiritual walk with the Lord. I will always remember those precious times I was privileged to spend with the Wilson family. Of course, Ron and I were also married by Dr. Wilson and will always have a special place in our hearts and memory. We enjoyed our visits with her in the last year at Canterbury in Alliance. I will always remember her singing Jesus loves me and I asked her if she knew he loved her and she said, " of course, and I love him with all my heart."

How very sad...yet glad to hear of Eva's passing. Only eternity will reveal the good of this life in partnership with her dear husband, Dr. Karl. It was their winsomeness that caused us to themselves and they pointed us to Jesus...and that has made all the difference. I can only imagine the joy on heaven's shore as the reunion was made with Karl and their dear girl Lois Ann. Our sympathies to those remaining. Otis & Dessie Essex - Dueber Church in Canton.
