Terri & Donald Reed Reed left a message on June 18, 2019:
We are so sorry to read of this distant cousin's passing. Her father, William, was a younger brother of my husband's grandfather, Robert F. Reed, Jr. We wish that we had had the opportunity to meet and discuss some of the Reed family & Newark history with her, as we are trying to piece it together now. God be with you all and bring you peace as you adjust to the loss of your beloved mother/grandmother. - Terri & Donald W. Reed of Charlan, Newark, DE
