Miss Helen (this is how I will always refrer to her) was the best neighbor ever growing up...her and Mr Ed were the best! I am deeply saddened that a stomach flu kept me from the memorial; I had hoped to see John and Tracy especially! Hope to be able to catch up with them someday; my love and hugs to the entire family! Looking forward to seeing you again in Heaven Ms Helen :)

To the Reed family: I am so very sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Tracy's back at Mt. Airy Middle School. I remember your Mother being a "cool" lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will always remember her as Mama Reed, mother of my friend, Tracy, and 2nd mom to me and friend of my mother's. She was a joy and fun, loving, spitfire whom we all loved dearly. She will be missed. We celebrate a life well lived and a peace well deserved as she meets up with her Lord and the 2 men that she loved and that loved her. We will cherish the memories forever. She will always be in our hearts and you are in our prayers.
with much love,
