My lifetime sidekick, friend, and sweet sister. I will miss all the laughs and silly times we had together. what a wonderful blessing that we were able to spend the last 4 years together. So glad that you are now with our heavenly father and no longer in pain. Love you so much…..
My dear, sweet Aunt Reba…so many wonderful memories that I’m grateful for. She took me to see my idol, Elvis Presley, when I was about 10 years old. She would babysit me and my sister, Teresa and put on her bathing suit and let us draw all over her body. She dated a guy in Ohio who worked for the electric company and she had him take us up in the clouds on a snowy night in his truck bucket…it was amazing. She let me drive for the first time and scared me of bridges forever, when she let Teresa drive over the Cincinnati Bridge on her turn. She was always supportive of my Justin and wrote to him and talked to him on the phone often.. He was heartbroken to hear of her passing. Most recently we had visits with her where we’d just sit and talk and she kept us laughing and was always a big part of our family. I will always carry her memory with me and always feel blessed to have had her in my life. No more pain, Aunt Reba…you can finally rest a peaceful good sleep. We love you.

My beautiful mother, I have so many wonderful thoughts and memories that I could share. I was so blessed to have you as a mother but also as a best friend. Even though you were very sick at times, you would put others needs first making sure they were OK. You were so loved by everyone! I know you had many struggles in the last few years but I wouldn’t take anything for the precious time you and I shared. We were always close but even became so much closer than we were. I loved helping you, being there for whatever you needed. From you I have learned to love, to laugh but most of all to find that inner strength in myself when I think I am at my weakest. You were such a wonderful mother and my heart is truly broken…

My great aunt Reba was an incredible person! She was always so kind to me and my kids. She was supportive and sweet. She was a perfect aunt! I’ll miss her terribly…. My children will miss her terribly! She was a blessing and a privilege to know and love. Rest easy Aunt Reba! I love you 💕
I only got to know my Aunt Reba fairly late in my life, I think the first time I met her I was around 13 or 14, but I ended up living with her for several years, and we became fairly close. She was always supportive of me and always had something positive to say when I’d come to her with problems, I always appreciated her kindness and it always made me feel better to talk with her. She was so storied, so interesting to talk to that I never came away from talking to her feeling worse than when I started. From computers to real estate, from philosophy to science, she was remarkably educated and clearly appreciated life to the fullest. I’m sure I’m going to miss her very much, I love you Aunt Reba.
