To all Gamble Family we want to express to you all our most deep and sincere condolences with the passing of your beloved mother Reva Gamble. Her and Z.P. will always hold a special place in our hearts, she was always so loving, welcoming, & kind, and the memories we shared will be remembered forever. I remember my son Dallas as a toddler got hung up in their barbed wire fence leaving our house to make it down to their house to get Candy!! Reva laughed so hard as she called us to tell us where he was. She was a blessing to us and she will be missed. May God remove the pain and sorrow of your loss and give you Peace and Joy as a replacement, as we remember our Saviors promise we will meet again.

Even though we met Reva a few years back, it was as if we’d known her our whole life. We loved her smile, playing cards with her. And how she loved people BIG. She will be sadly missed. Our prayers are with the family
