From Sam N.

I have many good memories of your sister, starting from high school, when she used to visit and hang out with my sister. They would talk for hours and were usually laughing, having a good time; she was really good at brightening people's mood up. Reva was willing to say what she believed and that always made conversations more interesting - it helped other people open up and express what they thought as well. I remember one time at lunch/dinner at my house she started a discussion on whether Russians or Americans say what they think more. It was funny, because most people would be too scared to bring up that topic, and it was also interesting, because it ended up that both she and my parents thought the complete opposite, and that was surprising. During my yeshiva days, she once gave me a ride and we ended up talking about different issues in life, philosophy, etc.; we both thought it was surprising we hadn't talked much in high school (mostly since I was a little quiet). From then on, I remember that she had a lot of good advice and insights into people and different ideas. Even though we didn't stay in touch lately, I remember her as someone with a lot of intelligence, strength to stand up for what she thought, and was always very fun and interesting to be around, so her passing is very sad and I know she will be missed by a lot of people.
