I offer my deep sympathy to the family of Pat Reed. There are a number of us Sisters of Loretto who remember the confidence Sister Joan Van Leeuwen had when calling Pat Reed to come and repair some electrical problem at Loretto Motherhouse. He never failed to respond and to fix the problem with professional and friendly competence. My prayers, too, for comfort for those who mourn him. Rest in peace.
