To the Reid Family:
May the God of all comfort bless and strengthen you during this time of depletion and loss. Pastor Reid was a great woman of God who "preached righteousness in the great congregation." Her memory will be sacred to those who knew her well. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."
