Reed Leary Memoriam

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 2, 2007.
LEARY, Reed Aug. 19, 1949 - Jan. 2, 2004

I never asked for miracles
But today just one would do,
To have the door pushed open,
And see you walking thru.
If I could have one wish,
One dream that would come true,
I'd wish with all my heart & soul,
For yesterday and you.
The moment you were called away,
My heart was split in two
One side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
There isn't one moment or one day
that I haven't yearned for you
and I miss you so much.

Your loving wife, Pat. Dad, our first memories of you were of love, our last ones are the same, your cherished children, Leticia, Michael & Meredith.
