Sister Mercelyn,, it is with sincere condolences that I prayed for you and your family to get through this season of grieving. Brother Reggie leaves us with many wonderful memories of a man who truly loved his family, his Church and most of all his God. He had a special place in his heart for youth and widows whom he did not simply give lip service to but actually did what he could for them. We know Brother Reggie will truly be missed by you, his CT communities, and both his natural and spiritual families who have the blessed hope of seeing him again. Love and Prayers from your Sister in Christ, Judy M. Kerr . John 3:16

To My Family,
I was so shocked and saddened to received the news of Reggie's passing. He was on of my favorite cousins. The mold was broken. If you called and needed him, Reggie was there. If he said he would do it, Reggie was there. Reggie was true to his word. I will miss him joking, asking what's for dinner. The BEST thing about Reggie was his LOVE for his family and whenever he spoke of Mercyln - the love of his life, it was as if he'd just fell in love with her all over again. I pray that in time the pain will be lighten and the funny things Reggie did and said will put that smile on your face and in your heart.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,
Cousin Valerie & The Ramsey Cousins ~
