The service was really beautiful. I'm proud to have known him. My only regret is not seeing him one last time. They say time heals, and i hope that happens for the family and all of snowden. I'll never forget all of those bus trips, house gatherings, etc. Reeco filled a lot of people's lives with love and happiness. I could always talk to him if i had a problem. His spirit and kind heart was what made it easy for me to choose him as a deacon. Well done my friend. I'm sure your dancing in heaven with the many loved ones who've gone before you, but I know you'll be patiently saving that special last dance for your Rose.
