Lots of wonderful memories of the Reed family! Bobby and I were just 5 days apart and he was a good friend of mine and my brother Rays. We lived just a couple of doors down from one another and shared a lot of good times in and out of each others houses. Lots of tales could be told! Mrs. Reed was always a joy to be with who always maintained a positive attitude about everything! She surely will Rest In Peace! Martha Flinter

I remember Peg very fondly as my sister, Sally, and I grew up with Lorraine and Bobby, long before Carolyn and Andy came into our lives.
Peg was a very religious lady who used to hand sew outfits for our Infants of Prague.

May she rest in peace
