Heather, Janet, Tim nd Heath:
I was so sad to hear about the sudden loss of Mr. Reid. God has a time for us all to come home and it was his time. It doesn't seem fair but you just have to keep the faith. He has been awarded his mansion in heaven and is rejoicing with the Lord now. Be happy knowing that his soul was right with Jesus. Rally around Mrs. Reid, she needs you more now than ever. The whole family is in my prayers.
