Scott, Daniel and Denise, Our heart goes out to you as you mourn your dear mother. While Theresa & Trow remember her best from the many years of being on the bus with her, we remember her spending many, many hours rocking the babies in the nursery at Redeemer. How she loved children! Be comforted knowing she, as a child of God, is now being held and loved by our Lord. God's peace for you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Although I am a fairly new driver, I got around long enough to get to know that Ms Reed was an excellent person of character and an excellent friend. I am sadden to see her go at such an early age. You will be forever missed by many. I know I already miss seeing you come in your vehicle and drive out in your bus from Chatham Parkway. May the Almighty Lord have her sheltered beneath him and may His Almighty grace help her family through this unfortunate ordeal. May she now rest in peace.
