Mary Elizabeth Reed

My deepest sympathies go out to all of the Wortley's. Growing up friends with Reed I spent many days and nights at the Wortley's house. Mary was always so nice and caring.

I am so, so, so sorry and saddened to learn of this news. It is unbelievable news. I attended Drew University with Mary for the whole time she was there and loved her dearly as a friend. I have many, many happy memories of Mary - she and her friend Laura did all the typesetting, editing and proofreading for a literary magazine I helped publish at Drew in 1971 and 1972 - and she was a wonderful, kind, generous, big hearted person with a 1000 watt smile.

Dear Bill, I am so sorry to hear about Mary's death. Rod and I are thinking about you. Siblings live in the hearts of their families.

Love, Diana

How sad to read the news today. Mary we will miss you and your beautiful smile. Our love to Rick, Reed, Chris, and Otis. We will remember Mary as someone who we loved to talk with about family and sports. We can only imagine the loss you feel.

But I am confident that she is still riding and has that huge lovely smile atop her...
