My condolences to the families of Willie Reed. He was truly a friend of the JW Darden Class of 1961 and was once a class mate. Willie hosted a fish fry at his home for members of the class and it was a pleasurable gathering. He was once a singing member of the Gospelaires. Your service to mankind will surely be missed but will be welcomed in his new Heavenly home.

My condolences to the entire Reed family. Mr. Reed was always kind to me. I really enjoyed the rides on his Truck. He's was a great example. You will be missed. Larry Watts!

Great man rest on You and Bigg together again praying for the family 🙏🏽❤️

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
