To the Redd Family: We will always cherish the rich memory and warm Christian outreach of Mr. Redd, and his wife, when we first moved into the neighborhood many years ago. By example, they defined the term, "good neighbor," for us to follow. We're simply glad that God chose for our pathways to cross. And, we pray that God will continue to bless and watch over you, during this difficult period of your life journey. The Smither Family
