I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to your family. I did not know
your mother, but my mother is a nurse at VMRC (Mrs. Callahan) and she would take
my teenage daughter to work with her some nights, and my daughter would spend
time with Ms. Reba. Playing games, coloring, polishing her nails anything that
you mother liked doing. My daughter will truly miss her. Ms. Reba will truly
missed by a little girl, that has a huge heart and plans to be a nurse as well,
because she is always helping someone. My daughter's name is Latisha May, so if
your mother ever spoke of a Latisha, now you also know who her friend was, she
would speak of.

May God Bless your Family

Our prayers are with the family. I worked with Ms. Moyers at IMCO. She was my
floor lady. She was a very nice person, and always seem to help. Sharon

I want to express my condolences to Mrs. Moyers' family. I was privileged to
take care of her as her physician for several years at Oak Lea. She was quite a
fighter, and came back from being nearly gone when she first arrived at Oak Lea.
She never gave up trying to feel better. I hope in some way I was able to help
her accomplish part of that goal. I also appreciate the family being available
to guide me in her treatment decisions. I know she is finally at peace and in
comfort. My prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Hello,

I was doing a "google" search of Reba Virginia Heatwole and
found this website.

I have a photo of her as a toddler that I found in some
family photos. I will be happy to share.
