Sara,
Please accept my condolences for your loss. I have known you and Reed for many years and it was always a joy to visit with you. I will always remember the good times we had at Carswell Golf Course. Of late I also enjoyed our visits at the VFW. Reed was a good man and we will miss him. May the good Lord be with you and your family. You are in our prayers. It will be an honor to place his name on our memorial. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Mr. Babb was a great neighbor. I loved to visit with him. He signed my Grandfather up for Social Security in Weatherford years ago. We have the same last name but never found any relationship except for being good freinds. I will truly miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
