As one of her nieces, I can truly say that I have the most wonderful memories of Aunt Reba from my childhood and into my adult years. She helped me get my first office job at Graham Jones Paper Company. I always admired how she managed her home, family and professional life with expertise and gave equally to all. I remember sitting at her table for some of the best southern cooking in the world. Her love for the Lord was obvious to all and she was a true example of how to live a life pleasing to Him. Aunt Reba will be missed but I know she has reached her life-long goal to be in the presence of her heavenly Father. I also know that her loved ones were there to greet her. So, I won't say goodbye, but rather "See you soon"! .
