Dear Mom Reynolds,
Our condolences to the Reynolds Family.
I wanted to share that you were the best mother- in- law one could ask for.
Hopefully you are finally resting in peace now, in this beautiful spring, that you always loved as the 2 feet of snow postponed your service.
It reminds of the story of your kindness to your son Gilbert, your rock, and caregiver til the end.
As you were coming home early from G-Fox in Hartford walking down Kenlock due to early dismissal from work, there you are seeing your son, Gilbert, not quite of driving age, trying to move the family vehicle in the heart of the snowstorm and over the curb. He shared how you gave him "the look" and then asked him "What do you want for dinner?" That was just one example of the kind, forgiving person that she was.
She so loved her grandchildren and we often shopped at G.Fox to buy her grandchildren's clothes, as she really enjoyed a great sale. She shared how she always had a love and way with numbers and wanted to become a CPA, which was difficult in her day for women.
It was a gift she was able to spend well over 30 years at each of my family's holiday gatherings which we were grateful for her presence at all these memorable occasions now that my own parents have passed. I'm sure my Mom is partying with her in heaven. (Sorry Grandma, no rest from Mom Walsh!!)
We miss you Mom and Grandma!
Love, Agnes, Jon and Michelle Reynolds

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Reynolds' passing. She, my mom, Mary Whipple, and I worked at G. Fox and took the P bus in together. She was a wonderful woman and I will always remember her fondly.
