Mr. Reich you were an amazing man, and I have SO many wonderful memories of you and the rest of your family. flower girl in Linda and Tim's wedding, lake Winnebagosh, family get togethers with the whole crew. I will miss you, but I know you are no longer in pain... You are with your buddies... Bob, Fred, Jerry Pi, and you are all fishing and having a great time together.. and I know my dad and mom greeted you at those pearly gates.

Mrs Reich, Linda, Jeff, Jimmy and families... I'm SO sorry I couldn't make it to the service. But I prayed and you were ALL in my thoughts and prayers all day. I will continue to pray for strength for all of you as I know how hard it is to lose someone you love so much. Stay strong, Remember the great memories and it will get you through the hard times.

All my love,
