Granny, I must say I am sorry for not being there in your latter years. You were the strongest lady I ever met. I shall forever love you. Your strength and character were beyond compare. I could always stay at your house and feel the love and safety you provided for your family and extended to me. You and Sue loved me when I didn't love myself. I shall forever long to see you again. Love, Bj

Mr. Reed you were a very special blessing to my family. Your love and kindness are the legacy you leave behind. I know God will honor every prayer you have prayed for us and those who you love. The sorrow is ours to bear for now, but I have peace in knowing you are with our Lord Jesus Christ now and are with Sue. Until we see you again, we will keep our eyes on the prize of joining you in heaven.

Mammy, my life will never be the same without you. You were my mentor, mother/grandmother, protector, helper and go to person and I don't know how in the world I'm going to survive losing you and momma all in less than 9 months!!! I'm leaning on God, good family, and good friends for strength to see me through this. I never imagined this time would come but I'm going to continue to make you proud of me. I loved you more than anything , but Momma and God needed you😢. RIL and RIP my angel Mammy!! Love your only granddaughter. I will forever and ever miss you Mammy!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢❤️
