Eugene F. Reid

Scott,

Please accept my deepest condolenses on the loss of you Dad. I have never met him personally but it seems I knew him well as we talked about him so often. I have also found out today that he was even more wonderful than I had known and had touched many lives and spread happiness around. May his soul rest in peace and God Almighty give him special place in His presence and give you the courrage to overcome your grief and celebrate his life and his achievements in this world.

Sincere condolences to the Reid Family who hold such a special place in my heart.

Our wish for you is that you are able to smile through the tears as you fondly recall your precious memories. It is ironic that just this last weekend, Lance was telling a story about he and Chet that made us laugh and recall many happy times.
Always,
Melissa McMillan Spitzer & Family
