We were so sorry to hear of Reba’s passing. I remember her and Cletus in their little store in Bakersfield. I loved going there when I was a child. Prayers for her family.

There will be another quite like Reba. I loved seeing her and talking with her. She gave me piano lessons in the 60s. I will always remember her kindness
