To family of Deacon James Reed with my deepest condolences, I was sadden to hear of the passing of Deacon Reed. He was a good christian man who always had a smile on his face, i never saw a frown covering his face. God has taken another soldier on home. May you find comfort in knowing that he is now in the presence of his maker, our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.
May his memories help comfort you in the days ahead.
