So very sorry to here of Reva’s passing. Reva and my mother were first cousins. Gladys Phillips Briggs, sister to Ethel was my grandmother. I got to meet Reva at St Francis (Kendrick) hospital. We spoke a couple of times. She was so kind and very nice. Much love to all of you. We are related although we never had the pleasure of growing up together and knowing each other.
