I am so sorry to hear of the passing of a dear friend, Nancy Reavis. I had the pleasure of working with Nancy during her long tenure at Telerent Leading Corporation. She was always a friend to everyone and made it obvious that she was a dedicated Christian lady. She will truly be missed by many long time friends. My prayers and thoughts go out to her family.

Although I only knew Nancy a short 7 years she has left a lasting impression on my life. The way she cared about others and made regular visits to shut ins especially. The joy on her face when she told me about meeting Johnny was precious. Im sure she has heard our Father say "well done my good and faithful servant ". She would ask for prayer for her daughters and their families when they were sick or traveling or whatever was on her heart...she surely loved each of you. She will be sorely missed at Wednesday night Bible study. Peace and comfort to all who loved her.sincerely, kaye Kelly

Nancy was a fun and caring person. Several of us ladies would go out for dinner then go to a gospel singing in the area almost every weekend. Or sometimes meet at my sister´s home for a night of fun fellowship and yes of course eating and watching family movies. Nancy will be missed by many.
