Condolences

I was saddened when I got the news today. Reed and I worked for the state patrol. I also repaired his garage door opener on occasion. My thoughts go out to his remaining family and friends. Reed is in a better place now and may he rest in peace.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of our dear neighbor. "Mr. Reed" and "Mrs. Donna" were our children's surrogate grandparents upon our arrival from Chicago. They loved our kids who still treasure keepsakes made for them. Our two "Rugrats" and "Cookie Snatchers" are growing up but will always remember their friends next door. We miss the sound of Mr. Reed's workshop and Mrs. Donna's garden hose out back! How will we ever trust workmen at our house without Mr. Reed keeping them on task and helping them figure out issues that come up?! Our blessings to Karen and family. Thank you for sharing your parents/grandparents with us! Please let us know about the planned memorial in Olympia as we would love to join you.

Reed and Donna were a "kick in the pants"--lots of fun to be around. They always had a welcoming smile and made me feel like a long lost friend whenever we met. The world was a better place because they lived in it. Have happy memories of 2 fine people.
