Our deepest condolences to the entire Kopec clan. Reva lived life on her own terms. Her sheer determination carried her through very tough times. To have known her was an honour and an inspiration. Her way with words made us laugh – a lot. Reva loved her family unconditionally. She spoke highly of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, kvelling with pride. They are her greatest accomplishment. Nachus. We will remember her with love and joy. Michael and Linda Farberman

Bubbie - as upset as I am that I couldn't be there with our small family today, I know that you know I have you in my heart everyday and even more since I've been abroad in recent years. Reading kind words left by those who knew you best does not make this any easier but I take comfort in knowing that your memory will not be lost among them, just like it will not be lost among us. In true Bubbie fashion you put up a strong fight, and now you are at peace. I miss you and I love you.

Dear Susan and Lee, I was so very sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. The news made me think back to the days when we were kids, living across the street from one another on Brighton Avenue. Everyone’s mom put up with everyone else’s kids, but your mother was exceptionally good at it! Your mom was a very neat lady and always very nice and very welcoming to me. May her memory be a blessing. Susan, perhaps someday we’ll reconnect and can share happy memories of those times…

Dear Lee We’ve been friends for a very long time. Your Mom (and Dad) were a big part of us growing up. I remember the nice talks we had together. We are both very lucky to have had such wonderful parents who gave us the best example for us in raising our own families. May your Moms memory bring a smile to your face always❤️.
