Dear Ralph, Mike, and the entire Reedy family.. please accept my heartfelt and deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. Both your mom and dad always went out of their way to be good to me, and their kindness is something I've never forgotten. Her selflessness in her professional life was an inspiration; her dedication to her home and family was important in making us the people we are today. We're all better for knowing her, and a legacy such as that is a wonderful thing. With love,

The Reedy family was fortunate having
Inez for a Mom and Grandma. I enjoyed knowing her and her endless and fun ideas to keep life interesting. She is
now able to rest in God's hands.
