Phyllis, So sorry to hear of Reedie’s passing, yet by his testimony, we know where he is today. Will never forget the first time he came into my office & I looked at him & said ‘HELLO, MR WILSON’. He & I just had a big laugh about it and it just kinda stuck from then on. You two were such a joy to be around & I will always remember him and his old vehicles he enjoyed so much. I have missed seeing you both over the past few years. When you came in to pay your insurance, you were very uplifting to me & cherished your friendship. Our paths crossed for a season, and I am so glad they did. Jesus will be your comforter & strength in the days ahead. Please take care of yourself. Can’t be there for the funeral, but you & your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
