<td colspan="4">
<textarea name="ReasonChange" value ="<?php
if (isset($POST['ReasonChange'])) {
echo htmlspecialchars($POST['ReasonChange']);
}
?>" cols="65" ></textarea>

<textarea name="ReasonChange"  cols="65"><?php if (isset($_POST['ReasonChange'])) { echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['ReasonChange']); } ?></textarea>

the 'value' attribute doesn't work that way for the 'textarea' tag, make sure you put what you want as a vaule inbetween the 'textarea' begin/ending tags.
