How sad to read of the passing of this wonderful woman. Teddy Reynolds was truly one of a kind. Her wit and wisdom and gentle smile warmed the hearts of her co-workers at S.C.D.H.S every day. The day was not complete without a warm word of encouragement from Teddy. She literally gave me some of the best advice ever offered in my life. I loved her dearly and my wife who worked for her for years loved her as well. She was a special kind of warmth and happiness.

Linda and I send our most heartfelt condolences to everyone in the Reynolds family and to all of Teddy's many good friends.

Jack and Linda Eldridge S.C.D.H.S.

Sharon yes, but it was Teddy, the smiling, light spirited young lady, who warmed the halls of Buchtel High School. I sometimes walked from school with her. May the Peace of God up her family and loved ones.

There is so much I can say about you Ms.Teddy you were definitely like a second mom to me and one of my best memories is when you use to come over to our house and play cards and I was the waiter and I would serve you a big bowl of greens and charge you 100$ for it lol. You were so sweet and humble and didn't meet a stranger you will definitely be missed shorty from the times we all got together and line danced to the times we just shared laughter but take your rest now sweety until we meet again I love you.

I will forever cherish every moment we spent like the times we spent on the phone late cooking for the holidays until 1 or 2 in the morning and literally crawling up the stairs to go to bed because we were exhausted lol. I will forever hold you close to my heart because you are truly more than a friend you are my family. I love you Sharon until we meet again rest on my beautiful angel!!!
