The sweetest spirit weve ever known Reba taught us with her words and with her life to love others unconditionally. When she looked into your eyes, you could feel the love of Jesus. So many people, both young and old, had their lives enriched just knowing her and watching how the joy of the Lord flowed out of her. She was a gifted teacher, touching the lives of so many children. We cannot begin to describe the beautiful life and legacy of Reba, our beloved friend and sisterinChrist. Though in stature, there was nothing about her faith and devotion to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Her sweet smile and her gentle voice will be missed dearly, but some day we look forward to seeing and talking with her where there is no night, no pain, no tears and no death. As far as Rebas family and friends are concerned, we pray that the peace that surpasses all human understanding fill you as Jesus comforts you during during this time of grief and loss. Peace be with you,Dennis and Roxanne Einkauf

Reba was one of my friends when we were young. She was a joy to be around, a bright and positive person, and I will always remember her. May she rest in peace.

To a GREAT lady and saint of God who loved everyone she ever met. Reba was a sold out saint of God holding prayer meetings in her home, visiting the sick, bringing meals and spent much time in the work of the Lord reaching out to the lost in need of a savior. I know of no greater humble saint of God than Reba and her mother Ola, they had such an unconditional love for everyone. As a child my dad use to request the song quotMockinbird Hillquot for Reba to play on the piano and she played beautifully but her greatest accomplishment to me was her faithfullness to the house of the Lord and playing the piano for the LORD for over fifty years. Reba was a totally loyal and loving wife,mother,daughter and friend. A true Proverbs virtuous woman her price was far above rubies, to me she was a priceless friend that at my mothers passing became that mother figure to me and loved me faults and all. No one will ever take her place, we cry and Heaven Rejoices A reunion day ahead, we will see her again I
