My sister Ruth Lane-Eriksen and myself would like to extend our sympathies to the Revett family. We knew Mrs. Revett as an elementary school teacher at the M.F.Stokes school in Levittown, NY back in the 1950's. I did not have the priviledge of having Mrs. Revett as a teacher but my sister,Ruth, did. To this day, some 45 years later she says that Mrs. Revett was by far her favorite teacher. One of the things Mrs.Revett taught my sister, and it filtered down to me, was to always say thank-you when someone does something for you. So thank you Mrs.Revett, for your kind and loving heart. May God bless this family always.
