CONDOLENCES FROM
MALLIE, FRANCES,
AND VIRGINA
Since I grew up with Kay, Reva was a part of my childhood and I have very fond memories of times and meals at her home. I was fortunate to have reconnected with Reva and Kay a few years ago. I enjoyed my talks and visits with Reva when in Asheville, and appreciated her good mind, smile, and welcome. It meant a lot to me, and we never seemed to run out of things to talk about. I admired her courage, strength, and intelligence. She will be missed.
My thoughts are with her family.
