Paula and Marilyn,I am so sorry for your loss.What an honor to have known your family.I chuckled when your cousin spoke about the garage floor being mopped. I just mopped mine last week. She really left her mark on us. They both were so kind to me and I will always be grateful.

Dear family of Revy, I am saddened at the passing of one of my favorite customers. We spent many hours discussing the ups and downs of our lives.I first met Revy in about 1988 and did her permanent makeup. Revy always came back to keep it fresh and vibrant. She was a Joy and a blessing to know.
One of my cutest memories is about her VERY LARGE diamond ring, I mentioned she might re-consider wearing it as she might get mugged. Her comment to that was; this ring is so ostentatious that no one would believe it was real and if you don't wear something of value why have it? She will be missed.
