To the family of Sandy Reed ~
Sandy was a excellent day care provider for my daughter some 25 years ago. We always knew she was in good hands with her. What a spunky lady and full of good times. I've thought of her often over the years and am so sorry to hear she has passed. We'll always remember her and she'll bring a smile to my face every time when we think of her. Praying the Lord will comfort you and keep watch over her soul. Blessings to you and your family. Lois & Steve Area (daughter - Ashley Heptig (Trood)

Ill miss you dearly Mrs. Reed. I found your home as a refuge for me to be encouraged to do what I feel I was called upon to do..Theater...in a time when it wasn't accepted in my community...nor was my sexuality. You never turned me away and you always accepted me with open arms and food and love and shelter. You were my biggest supporter...even coming to shows to just see me....to say REMEMBER WHEN?..while hugging my family. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE EVERY THING YOU STOOD FOR. LOVE ME...UR SON.
ANTWAYN.
