  18. The light and love Reva brought to this world is not lost in her passing but amplified by the increased community of awe and appreciation of her life. She continues to inspire us to live wholeheartedly and embrace her deep presence in being with others. Her grace and hospitality lives on as I myself have become a softer and more accepting person for knowing her. My soul has expanded by witnessing her apply herself to her healing journey, maintain relationships across the country, and seek adventure and joy in the midst of personal hardship. She was an incredible human with crystal clear eyes, an infectious laugh, a graceful disposition, a sometimes impish grin and a touch of sass. She had a uncommon quality of being transparent with her struggles but rarely complaining. With all my love and support, I hope we who celebrate Reva continue to carry her light in our hearts living a daily tribute to her spirit.

  19. I met Reva only once, this October in Big Sur. We have many mutual friends and I have heard countless stories about her and how wonderful she is. As soon as I got to the campground I was greeted by all of my friends and this beautiful bright soul comes right up to me with open arms with a big hug. “You must be Courtney” I was touched. That weekend I got to know her and gifted her a pair of earrings I made. She was so touched with tears in her eyes. “No one ever gives the jeweler jewelry” I had no idea she was a jeweler. That night we all gathered around the campfire, had so many laughs, cry’s and true connection. She touched my heart and feel deeply grateful that I got to meet her, even if it was only once. Sending much love to all that loved her. I know this is everyone she ever crossed paths with.

  28. Steve, Reba, Carolyn and all the family. We grieve with you for Reva. She will always be remembered for all her beautiful traits which were many as I read a lot of the Memories. She seemed so pleased when I told her we were cousins, hugging me and giving a great big smile. I will always remember her. Our prayers are for peace and comfort in the coming days.
    Our Love Bill and Pat.

  30. So sorry for the loss but I know her love and light lives on. My wife and I got to see Reva once or twice a year through our love of music and it was always a delightful surprise when she showed up! Take care Ferguson family!

  31. I have never known or heard of a more courageous amazing and authentic young woman. I have always been in awe of how everything she created, every opportunity she accepted and how every challenge she faced she approached with the perfect finish in mind. I love the way she gathered the timeless treasure of kinship and friendship along the way. I will be praying for all of your precious family and all who love Reva and all those Reva has loved so well.

  35. I was so shocked and saddened to hear that Reva passed away. We became friends in elementary school and cheered together in high school. I was always happy to run into her at shows occasionally in the time since we graduated. I never know what to say in these circumstances, so I will just say that Reva was a dear friend, a light in my life, and I have so many fond memories of our friendship and times together. She was a lovely person, and I am sending my love to Lynn, Russell, and all of her family and loved ones.

  39. I was saddened to stumble upon Reva’s passing. Reva and I attended high school together and, although we probably were much more acquaintance that friends, Reva was a sweet, genuine person. I hope that the family is able to somehow find eventual peace and comfort. From reading what people have stated about her, she was a very special person to many. Gone much too soon.

  40. I met Reva in Ojai, California when I started volunteering for the Search Dog Foundation. Hers was the first face that I saw the day that I walked into the office. Reva was so kind and welcoming from that day forward. I loved her energy, light, and spirit. She had a zest for life. We were both North Carolina natives. Reva repaired a necklace for me and did an awesome job. I was sorry to see her move away. I have recently moved back to the Charlotte, NC area and I kept telling myself that I needed to call Reva and let her know that I was back and for us to get together. I thought that she was beating her illness and doing well. Then just yesterday a mutual friend from the SDF told me of her passing. I am so sorry and devastated to learn this. Reva, I miss you and I know that you are in a better place. My deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family.
