I will never forget you, my dear friend. I remember how I loved to open your packages and see what surprises you ordered from your bed. I will see you again in eternity.

Oh my how I remember this wonderful woman! She loved the Lord, and many other things including any pink...even toasters and microwaves! I would love going to her house to bring her grapes to freeze, and find boxes of ordered things on her porch, just waiting to be opened. What surprises they held. She loved to buy, but was not attached to her collections. When she had to downsize, she graciously gave her things away. I look forward to seeing her again in heaven. She was a wonderful woman.

Dear Schicktanz family, the Shoup family and specifically our son Jacob, want you to know how blessed we were to be able to befriend your mother / grandmother while she lived at CBTS. Our son Jacob just loved Treva so much and it broke his little heart when he heard of the news about his sweet friend Treva. But he realized that she was with God and Jesus in Heaven. Jacob enjoyed his visit's with her and we know she built memories for our son that I pray he will cherish as he becomes a man. Your mother was a beautiful sweet lady and with spunky spirit. We love you Treva and Miss you! God Bless you all, Isabel Shoup CBTS employee and son Jacob Shoup.
