Dad, in 1982 you became a father for the first time. I enjoyed 38 good years with you. I miss you very greatly, but I know you are with the Lord. Someday, I will see you again and we will be happy together.

Greg will be greatly missed. We always enjoyed the family Christmas letters. He greeted everyone with a warm smile. He was always helpful and was very active at the Church. A good and Godly man who loved his Lord and his family. I’m sure he is enjoying his new mansion :).

My husband, Greg, was truly a man of integrity. His loved his Lord, had fidelity to the law, loyalty to his friends, and had a full and happy life. He treasured his family. He loved meeting his clients, visiting the Courthouse, dining (Willow Tree) and antique shopping (Dunkleberger’s) with dear friends, caroling at the nursing homes, serving his church’s Sunday school (Fellowship), and playing his many phonographs. He will be missed, but I look forward to the day I see him again in glory with our Lord Jesus!

My condolences to your family. Mr. Reed had been my lawyer for several years. He helped me with a will, divorce and custody hearings. He was ‘no nonsense’ in the courtroom but outside of it, extremely compassionate and kind. He will be missed.

Mr. Reed was a dear friend and advisor to my husband Enoch in our early years of marriage, as well as a friend of the Goretti’s dating back to my early childhood years, when I was a classmate, with his son Jason at Phillipsburg Christian Academy. I remember him coming to every musical production I was ever involved in during my high school years at Phillipsburg High School. I think he was my biggest fan! I remember him fondly, especially during those happy childhood times at the Reed’s cookouts and family get togethers. What fun I remember having! He will be missed. I pray for God’s comfort and peace to the entire Reed Family, with Love, Jessica “Jess”
