The Reed Isaac families will always be filled with memories of "stumpy " the refrain that will never grow old and will always be with us.

He gave honest advice. He supported so many family, friends, and neighbors. The most outstanding memory is he would always get you to commit to yourself your God and your family and in the conversation with SUPETto do,how are you doing? What are you doing and what are your plans for your future, career etc. your "Super

On behalf of My sister & long time friend Lucille, and Shaun Reed (son and his wife ) We wanted to express our deepest condolences πŸ’ πŸ’ and love πŸ’• over the past twenty years or so. Mr. Reed have shown our family much love, respect and kindness so vast that we cannot imagine. Our heart felt sympathy embraces you today and always. Brothers "NAPOLEON REED" was truly one of a kind. Definitely deserves a moratorium of recognition, respect and gratitude πŸ™πŸ½. He not only came when asked, but stood in line waiting his call. A soldier of God's army well known, and decorated with badges of honor only the Lord can give. Brother, Reed, you will be sorely missed in this our heavenly Father's green earth🌍🌍. Walk tall, stand firm and receive your just reward, as only The Father will give unto you. One of his favorite sayings was, when asked how are you doing, his reply was, " If I felt any better, I couldn't stand it" A fitting response here, if when you've given the best of your service, telling the world 🌎 the savior is coming, be not dismayed, when men won't believe you, He'll (GOD) understand, and say well-Done". Brother Reed... well done... Evangelist Emma Belin-Reese
