Reva G. Payne

I'll miss Grandma, but I love knowing that she is in heaven with Grandpa, my Mom, little Bobby and all her siblings.
I know that she is much happier now then ever before. I was visiting her about 6 years ago and she started to cry when we talked about the old days and how much she missed everyone that was now gone.
Grandma was very sweet to me when I was single and raising Zack and David. She always tried to give me hints on "picking up a man". She said she was worried about me being...

Dear Gordon & Judell: We just learned today from the Church bulletin of your Mom's transition. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Karen,
That's funny about swimming in the canoe. I remember one time there was a lot of rain or something, and Grandma took us out for a canoe ride in the flooded lot next to their house. Does that sound familiar? I like your story about not going for the taxi ride because the driver was a stranger! That is classic! Here's my email address...we should stay in touch! [email protected]
It was good "talking" to you!

Dear Theresa,
I forgot about Grandma's singing and piano-playing skills! What a wonderful memory. I remember swimming IN their canoe. How resourceful was that - just fill the canoe with water and swim! Here's another classic memory: Grandpa was taking Kathy and I on our very first taxi-cab ride but I wouldn't go. I cried and said I wasn't going because my mom had told us never to take rides from strangers, and I certainly did not know that cab driver!

Dear Family of Aunt Reva,
The Family Circle has now been completed in Heaven-- The 14 Children of Grandma and Grandpa Wanamaker are all together. Boy, do they have alot of talking and remembering to do. It was a GREAT honor to be able to visit so many years ago in Aunt Reva's home in Flint- lots of memories!! I can picture the kitchen sink and the hand pump for water and the magazines that the girls had and let me look at. I don't know where the years went but your parents will always be...

I also have many memories of Grandma. Like my sister I also remember spending nights at her house and going for walks in the neighborhood.I'll always remember the sound of the trains. She always had ice cream for us,with Quick,I still use it today.
I always enjoyed seeing her on our yearly visits from AZ. She always told my Dad to be "good" when we left.
Wish I could be there for the funeral.
Gary (Grandson,son of Ruth Ann)
