Dear Reed Family, Thank you so much for sending us the notice of your mother. We are so very sorry for this great loss to your family. Marcella and Orrie were a special part of our lives while my husband was stationed there and we went to St. Paul's UMC. We have enjoyed so much hearing from your mother over the years since our time there. She loved telling us all about her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a special lady! Our prayers are with you all.

Marcia and Family,
I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom. She was the "June Cleaver" of Everett. I'll always remember the time she took me home from the hospital when my mom was too busy. It meant so much to me. I also remember that your mom had a fun sense of humor -- just like you. And I remember the time that your mom and dad came to Phoenix on one of their reunions and took time out of their busy schedule to have lunch with me. They were very special people. You'll always have their spirit in your heart.
Love, Susie

I had hoped to be at your mother's service tomorrow, but have come down with some kind of bug so will not be able to. Will miss seeing all of you.
