Diane Reed December 18, 2020

I just saw that WB passed away last year. Now I know why he quit calling me and when I called the numbers I had they were disconnected. I am Diane Reed, I was married to Marvin Reed (Mildred's brother)(deceased) We visited them several times at Doris's home. He was a very special man and will be missed be many people. He was one of my husband's favorite relatives. I will contact Mildred's sister Pat and let her know. Prayers and love to his family
