My condolences to Eve's family. I have been searching for her for at least ten years. I am her first cousin, Kathy Ralli, daughter of her uncle Fivos from Texas. I am too sad to have found her through this obituary. Too late...but I have fond memories of her and remember visiting her and her husband and playing with her first son on a ranch surrounded by horses. Her son got kicked in the face by a horse and I ran terrified to the house to get help. I remember the car speeding to the hospital. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like. It's nice knowing she had children and there are more Ralli's out there. [email protected]
