And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memory

of these little things that help to push away the pain.

and bring the smiles back again

Clara, Linda, Shirley, you are always in our thoughts and prayers, and you can count on us for anything. Love you guys.

I use to work with Reggie at Safe Auto and actually sat right next to him before I finally left the company last year. He was a charater and always brought a smile to everyone's face. Reggie will be missed by all. I am so sorry to hear of how it ended but I am sure he is in a much better place. Safe Auto will never be the same without Reggie.

To Reggie's dear family, my name is Alpha and I knew Reggie from my job at Bob Evan's across the street from Safe Auto. He would come in there all the time and I would serve him all the time. He ordered the same thing everytime and I would see him waiting in line to be seated and would already have his order ready. When he went on vacation last year, he thought of me and bought me a t-shirt souvenir. I was really touched by him thinking of little ol' me. He was so sweet. I'm going to miss him very much. Just wanted to let you know that your Reggie was a very wonderful person. My heart and prayers go out to the family. God Bless you all

I said a prayer for you today

and know God must have heard.

I felt the answer in my heart

although he spoke no word.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame

I knew you wouldn't mind,

I asked him to send treasures

of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that he'd be NEAR you

at the start of each new day,

to grant you health and blessings

and friends to share the way.

I asked for happiness for you

in all things great and small,

But it was for His LOVING CARE

I prayed the most of all.
