Memories of Treva will be in my heart forever
Every time we visited and talked on the phone was such a Blessing! We could discuss any and everything- no matter how sad no matter how intimate ah, the funny things we laughed about. The year I asked her if she was aware of how pretty she was with those smiling eyes, in typical Treva fashion she responded "well I never thought of myself as pretty" She was a great inspiration to me. We truly loved each other. God's channeling through His People allowed our friendship to blossom into one that lasted a lifetime! Treva was the epitome of the Matriarch of her family.

Thank you Tommy
