My mother, P. R Edmund Reves, and Ortrude were lifelong childhood friends. I remember when she can to Seattle to visit. They were giggling girls. 

I just wanted to send Orti’s family a note and tell them how much I always enjoyed working with her over many, many years..She was a very unique lady that always seemed to know what she wanted and how to get it accomplished..A woman that was happy living a simple life that spoke of her children every time we met..She leaves a legacy that should help many.. 

Heaven must be happier now, with Ortie there! I was born at Fairbury during the Second World War, when Mama and our Grandmother stopped off to visit her parents, Aunt Lura and Uncle C. Guy Anderson on their way back from Fort Sill to Moline. I was her flower girl at the first wedding in Lincoln. Elizabeth Taylor was a dead ringer for Ortie in those years--she was breathtakingly Beautiful. I baby sat for her boys in Lincoln in the years I lived there. When we lived in Omaha we had so many good times with her and Leonard. She was so kind to my folks when they visited at Lincoln General for Mama's treatments. I was so pleased when she found happiness with Jack Snyder! Our last visit was when we all stayed at York during the memorial for my Dad. This memory comes with great love to all the families and friends who knew and loved our cousin!

Many great memories of Ortrude stopping by the house for coffee and to chat  or spending Holiday's with our family. You will forever be missed, but will always be in our hearts.
