I want to invite everyone to a Celebration of Reid's Life on Monday, July 26. The Celebration will be at 7 Vines Vineyard which is about 2 miles from our house. We will begin with a Social Hour at 5:00 PM, followed by a program and buffet dinner. Reid specifically requested this, and I encourage as many to come as possible, and come hungry! Reid loved a party and he loved to feed people! This will be a child friendly event so please feel free to bring students. And spread the word. I would be great to see a huge crowd.
So many of you brought beautiful flowers which Reid really enjoyed, but the vineyard has requested no flowers for this event. Also, some have inquired about memorials, and I have nothing specific in mind, but Reid loved nature, and birds, so any memorial in his name to an outdoors organization would be appreciated.
I also want to thank everyone of you who has followed along on this very difficult journey. It has been astonishing to see the outpouring of love, compassion, generosity, warmth, and kindness. One mother told me how wonderful she thought it was to see us all come together as a community, and indeed it has felt like an entire community of love and support.
Reid loved people, and you all have reciprocated that love in a huge way. I will never be able to thank you adequately, but I hope you can come on July 26, so we can celebrate this wonderful person, whom we will all miss greatly.
With eternal gratitude,
LaWayne
