I was living near Kincumber in 1985 when Eve's story broke and remember the disgusting manner in which people of the area behaved - it was nothing short of shameful. It was understandable that people were concerned and unsure about the risk Eve posed, but many people went out of their way to be vile towards the family. I even saw Mrs van Grafhorst in Gosford with little Eve outside a shop and Eve was playing on a coin-operated ride...a passer-by spat at Mrs van Grafhorst then walked on. RIP Eve, you were worth far more than those who ran you out of town.
We did not hear much about Eve after she left Aus and have just found out when she passed away. A very brave little girl who made a great many people aware that you cannot catch HIV/AIDS just by touching someone. I would like at some time to watch the whole of the programme rather than just this short bit that I have.

Such a heart-wrenching story. i only managed to catch the last 20 mins last night on sky TVs Heartlands (channel 17) and i could not believe how beautiful and brave she was considering her illness. Rest in peace beautiful. xx
