I am a better person for knowing Reba, as is everyone who has had the good fortune to grace her path. Reba is someone who was bigger than life in so many ways. I always called her a firecracker because of her energy and zest for life. She touched so many lives with her kindness, love and encouragement. I have never smiled so much as the cherished moments spent in her presence. She is my hero - the person I aspire to be like when I grow up. Reba will always be for me the embodiment of wisdom and grace.
