SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 401
 
 
  In Memory
  of
  Eva Marie Coe
 
         WHEREAS, The passing of Eva Marie Coe of Tyler on
  February 18, 2025, at the age of 56, concluded a remarkable life
  of service in the ministry; and
         WHEREAS, The former "Eve" Alvarez was born in Napoleon,
  Ohio, on August 6, 1968, to Leonel and Eva Alvarez, and she grew
  up with six siblings; she was born again at the age of 17, and she
  went on to marry the love of her life and her ministry partner,
  Jeremy Coe; over the course of a fulfilling marriage spanning 26
  years, the couple raised four children, Casandra, Brenton,
  Jeremy, and Raquel; they also experienced the joy of welcoming
  six grandchildren into their treasured family; and
         WHEREAS, After traveling full time for about a decade,
  Mrs. Coe and her husband moved to Henderson, where they founded
  the nondenominational Just As You Are Church in 2001; the couple
  relocated their ministry to Tyler as Real Life Church in 2013,
  and three years later, they sold their church building to focus
  on prison ministry; in 2021, Mr. and Mrs. Coe launched Real Talk,
  a weekly radio program for prisoners that aired in Texas, New
  Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana; it expanded and became Real Vida
  TV in 2023, producing audio and video podcasts for viewers both
  inside and outside of prison walls; the program has since reached
  millions of prisoners in every state and countless fans around
  the world; affectionately known as "Mama Eve, the mother of all
  prisoners," Mrs. Coe served for more than 35 years in the
  ministry, speaking and singing in English and Spanish at
  churches, prisons, and schools on three continents; and
         WHEREAS, An engaged citizen and an admired spiritual
  leader, Eve Coe leaves behind a legacy that will long be
  remembered by all those who were blessed to know her; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
  Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Eva Marie Coe and
  extend deepest condolences to the members of her family: to her
  husband, Jeremy Daniel Coe; to her children, Casandra Grace
  Aguilar and her fiancé, Zach Gerken, Brenton Lee Coe, Jeremy
  Daniel Coe II and his wife, Sarah, and Raquel Belen Coe; to her
  grandchildren, Mitchell, Natalie, Josiah, Jocelyn, Damon, and
  Navaeh; to her father, Leonel Alvarez; to her mother, Eva Torres
  Alvarez; to her siblings, Jane Rosario and her husband, Sullivan,
  Richard Alvarez, Maria Alvarez and her husband, Frank Azok, Alice

  and his wife, Natalie; and to her many other relatives and friends;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns
