Our Bert Hughes family sends condolences to all of the Anderson family. I have so many memories of going to Seymour as long as I can remember. Great family gatherings. Aunt Reva and my Mom, Betty Hughes were great friends. When I, Lucy Hughes Miller flew back to Iowa, Uncle Jim and Aunt Reva picked me up in DesMoines around 1971 and took me to Seymour. We had a great visit and that was the last time I saw my Grandmother, Lucy Hughes. In 1969 my husband Don Miller and I drove to Seymour for Don to meet all of the Hughes family. I remember
Uncle Jim showing Don around the farm and talking
about not needing to "irrigate" crops. We saw soybeans for the first time. It was a great visit with all of you. Love to all of you. Lucy Hughes Miller
Reva was my favorite aunt. I spent many weeks staying at her house out on the farm. Bill and I would play cowboys and Indians in the field next to the house. I can remember plucking feathers off of freshly killed chickens, or running to the cave out side the house when the tornado siren sounded.
As I got older, I wanted to sing just like her, and did for quite some time. She sounded a lot like Karen Carpenter. I think she was asked to be the singer for some program on WHO.
I loved this woman. She was my Mothers little sister. I remember Mom and I visiting her several times when she lived in Durant. We even met her special friend.
Reva, you will always have a place in my heart.
Love Always.

Reva was a sweet and caring person. I knew her when she lived in Durant. You could not help loving her. I have so many great memories. My condolences Anna and the rest of the family.
I remember Reva singing at First Baptist Church in Seymour. Very nice lady and really enjoyed her music.
Our thoughts and prayers for the family.
Sorry to hear this. I remember them when they sent to First Baptist in Seymour.
Thoughts and prayers to you, Anna! Your mother always had a smile and was so kind.
