Mrs. Reed, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. How fitting that one of Mr. Reed's proudest moments was leading the guys to the status of Eagel Scout. Some of my fondest high school memories centered around your family. Take care of yourself and allow others to care for you during this period of mourning. May God bless you; He certainly blessed Mr. Reed.
