A memorial fund for Dr. Eve Bindursky Coleman, in celebration of Jennifer Coleman and Jonathan Leit's wedding, and beyond.
Eve Coleman Memorial Fund
Excerpt from Watermelon Winter
by Eve Coleman
Yesterday, in the dead of my worst winter
I bought shoes...
Watermelon shoes.
That's what the salesclerk called them, anyway...
Just at the place where my arch might be, two watermelon halves broke through.
Reminded me of juicy times past and hinted that
This winter may one day end
And summer come again.
Eve Coleman's fight against breast cancer ended in May 1994 at the age of 47. Her memory lives on through her dedicated family, friends and students, and her writing.
To honor her memory as we celebrate our wedding, we have created the Eve Coleman Memorial Fund, which will help underfunded breast cancer patients get the treatment they need through the Breast Health Navigator Program at Roper St. Francis Cancer Center in Charleston. For further information, please click here. A donation, in lieu of a wedding gift, would be very meaningful to us.
Many of you didn't have the opportunity to meet Eve, but we hope you'll get to know her through this blog. If you have questions or would like to share a memory or thought about Eve, we invite you to email us at watermelonshoes[at]gmail.com. Please indicate if you’d like your message posted.
We have no doubt that Eve, who was emailing, websurfing, and hanging out in chat rooms before many of us knew how to turn on a computer, would be thrilled to be a part of the blog age.
Please send your donation to:
