I was sorry to learn of the death of Rev. Reeves. I wished all day after hearing this that I could be with all of you. He was such a fixture in the pulpit at Dearington Baptist Church. He was its pastorial guardian when the church was without a head pastor for many many years! He was a hard worker in Dearington and the City of Lynchburg. I'll never forget seeing him walking to work. He was one of the fastest walkers I'd ever seen on his way to work. He was a nice man and will be deeply missed. I will always remember his prayers!
