Hello my dear Reid, Cheryl, Tiffany, Leighann and Reid's sisters especially the ones that lived in Hyattsville, MD where I would see Reid when he visited or just came to sit on the front porch at our home on Sargent Road, whether for a short period of time or when he stayed with us (Hayden- may he rest in peace). Reid was a gentle, loving, compassionate and warm person. He was like my 6th brother who I could talk to while enjoying hearing about Tiffany and Leighann. I remember how he always brought Tiffany by from when she was a toddle and continued to share stories about Frostburg, I remember when he shared while he and Cheryl visited that they were pregnant. We laughed when he spoke about it was time for Leighann, to drive and his laughing comment about it is time for her to chauffer me around. Cheryl you were his love and life. I will missed the every 2 months call with Red saying I am just checking on you sis. What a Gem Reid was. I hope your journal to Heaven was met by family, friends and your buddy Hayden. Love you much too much. Janice
