My heart goes out to the Redd and Harris Families on the passing of their dear loved one. May God bless and find comfort in your memories. Dr. Redd was my first piano teacher and the "unforgettable slumber parties" host for his music students. Rest in peace gentle soul. We will see you on the other side.
