Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Rava was a very special lady to me. I loved her for the kindness she showed to everyone she met. When visiting my second home in Sylvatus, l always looked forward to seeing her at the Sylvatus Ruritan building. She always had a big smile for Martin and l. I miss her and will be praying for the entire family. Danny, l am especially sorry for you loss!!
