Being a neighbor of the Reid's has been a privledge and blessing. We will miss Wade's thoughtfulness and friendship. When doing home improvements, he always showed up with a tool we needed just at the right time. He was gracious with this garden vegtables and most memorable are his yummy tomatoes. As I look out onto his backyard it is hard to imagine him not being there putzing around making sure his yard was a show case. I will also miss his gorgeous Christmas light show. Please know that your sadness is shared and words cannot express our shared sorrow. Now is the time to lean on family and friends. Call anytime you need us. With all our love, the Thompson's.
