    My condolences to Mark and the rest of Reva’s family.Reva was a good friend and a good person to confide in. She will be missed more than I can ever express in words. The world will be a sadder place without her. May she rest in peace.

    Reva will truly be missed. Although I only knew her for a short time threw business, it was always a pleasure to hear her voice on the other end and speak with her. I am sure heaven was thrilled to receive her.

    The days seem empty..the nights feel longer..the sun doesn’t seem to shine as bright, but I knew you had to leave..the time was right. It was time for you to go, and because of who you were, you just couldn’t say no. God wanted you back…you accomplished your goal.

    I want you to know, He gave me a “friend” that I will never forget…we’re bonded forever, from the moment we met.

    Memories last forever…never do they die…true friends stay together and never say good-bye.

    Fly high, Reva!

    God promised when the time is right, He’ll call “my” name and it will be all right. We’ll meet again and smile with glee…we’ll be together again….you and me!!

    Reva was a gentle soul, who was willing to give love and an ear to those she knew and love and considered her friends. She was quick with a smile. No matter how bad your days was, her smiles made it better. I will definitely miss talking to her as we share a smoke and talking about nothing important on the bench outside.

    So sorry to hear of Reva’s passing. Uncle Mark please know that we love you and are here for you. I really enjoyed the time we got to interact with Reva and she was a wonderful part of our family time every holiday. Rest in peace.

    Reva is missed greatly Her optimism and positive attitude made everything seem okay. She never dwelt on the negative. She had no time for sad sacks and was always pointing out everything good around us. She was always counting her blessings. She knew she was loved.

    Reva was a blessing to me and many others. One Christmas she and Mark gave me and Bob a piggy bank filled with change amounting to $44. They told us it was money they found throughout the course of the year. Instead of just counting their lucky stars and spending it on themselves, they wanted to pass it on. Inspired by their generosity, Bob and I are spreading joy to those we encounter along the way; I.e, in line for coffee or at the drive up window at McDonalds.

    Reva was joyful and a pleasure to be around. She was a ‘hoot’ and hosted the BEST holiday parties for our family. She brightened our lives just by being in them. Thank you God for the blessing of Reva and while she couldn’t stay here longer, I’m so grateful she made it into our lives for the time we had her. Our loss is heaven’s gain.
