I only just was made aware of Mrs. Eftink's passing. At 37 years old I decided to finish my degree in social work at Ole Miss and I was terrified. Mrs. E and I became quite close and she was a constant source of light, encouragment, and often times pushing me hard to keep me from dropping out and giving up. As we got to know each other we discussed many personal things. We talked over coffee, in her office, and prayed together in church. Although I was not Catholic, she still would invite me for prayer. When I graduated I had no one there for me. And the first person I saw upon dismissal was Mrs. E. She asked if I had anyone there for me. I guess I was embarassed because I didn't and she saw it on my face. She stopped someone and asked her to take our picture together. I still have it. That was in 2009. I'm profoundly sorry for your loss. She had the sweetest and often times most fragile heart I ever knew. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
