Auntie Rheba was a part of my childhood. I remember her taking my mother and us to brunch at some fancy restaurants that my mother couldn't afford. It was a special time where I learned manners and conduct. Things my mother couldn't teach as she was very self observed and is till this very day. I'm not here to insult my mother as she is fully capable of doing that to herself. Thank you for sharing about my charming aunt and about her home. I have many memories in that house and share them with friends. I currently live in Toronto and have a teenage son of my own. God bless all my relatives and friends. - Posted by: Thomas Fleming (Grandson to Lloyd Cuddie) on: Jan 09, 2023

Rheba and I met in the early 1960's while I worked at lawyer Max Yale Diamond where she paid her mortgage on 558 Clifton. Rheba and I became friends right away. My husband Gilbert and our daugher Debbie lived with Sven and Rheba from 1964-1974. Sorry to have not called her more of late. I've been a widow since 2001. My sympathy to all who survived Rheba.
