Earth's loss is truly Heavan's gain. Mrs. Reid was truly a lovely woman.

I had the pleasure of serving as Property Manager at Berger Apartments just over a decade ago. That was when I met Mrs. Reid. She was always filled with good advice, a smile and a love of life. She was so dedicated to the organizations that she belonged to, particularly the Elks Club.

I learned a lot of leadership from Mrs. Reid. My time with her was brief, but beneficial to my then very young, developing mind.

May she Rest-In-Peace and my light perpetual shine upon her soul and the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God.
