Wanted to tell the family I am sorry and will miss Grandmom Reed.

Prayers go to all the Reeds. Norris Drive and its neighbors were the best in the world. Hope to be able to stop and pay my respects to a great woman.

I have wonderful memories of Miriam---of your whole family. Her gardens were always so beautiful, like something in a magazine. She always welcomed me into the house, to talk just about anything.I'll never forget her.
My prayers are with you; God bless all.
My love to you.
