Sister, You have touched not only my life but so many people with your heart full of love, joy and tender care. I will always celebrate the joyful times together as you always celebrated a life well lived. I now have a beautiful guardian angel watching over me. I know you and my Dad are both up in Heaven carrying on the humor together as you always did here on this earth. My candle is forever lit.

Sister Reean,
Most people will never know how much you did and gave of yourself for others, including me and Brian. Your unselfish love and kindness to everyone you met will never be forgotten. You were always interested and involved in all of our lives, and you always prayed for us, helped us, and made us laugh. Your love, caring, and kindness is your legacy. Not only were you a strong, gentle woman, your sense of humor and the way you had fun with all of us always made me smile. Thank you for all your love. I know that Dad welcomed you with open arms. <3

To my dear dear Aunt Sr. Reean.....you have no idea how many lives you have touched while on earth. You have taught me how to be "giving" to all those in need. My mom misses you ever so much, as I do....as do the millions of people who have been honored to have known you. Rest in Peace and give my Dad a big hug from me! Love, your niece Loretta
