I used to babysit for the Rehanis. Bev was like another aunt to me. At least now she is with her beloved Fouzi. Those two provided a model for me of a marriage that worked.

Dear Rehani family,
Your mom was a great sister to me. We had such good times together. We used to say the Lord put us together. My heart just ached for all the pain and trouble she went through. It is a joy to think of her as pain-free and being with Jesus and with Fouzi. I will miss her so much, but I will have wonderful memories to think of about our times together.
God bless you all,
Wilma Weber

Dear Mom,
Thank you for all the precious years we shared and for being the kind of mother anyone could hope for! You are now with Daddy in heaven and I am sure the reunion was incredible!
