Mrs. Reeves was my 3rd grade teacher at Lee Elementary in the mid-70’s. She was such an amazing person and impacted the lives of many children, including myself, in such a positive way!  God blessed her with a beautiful long life and now she has earned her wings as His beautiful Angel!  Thanks for being part of my village!  May God bless her family and grant them peace during this difficult time!

Marjorie was a true inspiration to so many people throughout her wonderful life. She never met a stranger, always saw the beauty in her surroundings, and embraced her faith in God each and every day. We were blessed to share so many fun memories with your  family over the years, especially those with Doug Sr. and Nancy & Richard among others. Each of you are in our prayers today as is dear Marjorie. Love you all.

Dearest Sue, Please accept my sincerest condolences to you & your family. You & I shared our stories about our Moms as they were getting on in life & how much they meant to us as their daughters & care-givers. I will always remember the times we spent together at work in Orange as well as our stories of our families. Take care. Elena
