We have such wonderful memories of a sweet, kind, laughing Reva! We met her as she was a dear, dear friend to our Mom Joan Harter! They loved, visited and witnessed to many in their church over the years and enjoyed thrift shopping and eating Chinese! We were blessed to join these laugh filled endeavors many times. Blessings to the family and thrilled to know Reva is with the Lord.
