Mrs. Reaves was my third grade teacher in 1988-89. I remember that she retired after that school year. I'll never forget the square dancing, the Robin Hood play we performed for the school, and the way she generously opened her home to her students for a party at the end of the term. May she rest in peace.

Gary: Your mother will always be with you even though she is gone from this earth. Your moms influence will be there every day. I lost my mom five years ago and every day I fell her presence and continuing encouragement. Be content in knowing that you will be with her again someday or sometime.

There hasn't been a time in my 71 years that I haven't known Edith. She and Raymond were among my oldest friends. She will be missed with each Christmas card, but remembered with each prayer. Condolences to her family.
