I remember Mrs. Reid as a wonderful mother, wife and Christian lady. My family has so many good memories of the Reid family. My sympathies go to Syd and his family.

papa is having a hard time with you being gone. but I guess you know that. Comfort him. Let him know it's okay. I see you everyday. I can hear your voice. It's weird to call the house and not have you answer the phone.
I promised to look after papa, and I will keep that. I can't bring myself to visit you. it's too hard still.
I cry still... even now.
oh... I love you nan.

I love you Nan. I know that you are better now. I guess it's fitting that this communication exists.
I took some pictures at the inurnment. Maybe I'll post one here.
