As
mentioned at the service, the family [ me especially ] was
overwhelmed with the showing of love, affection, and support for
Reid. If I was not aware before then, I CERTAINLY am aware now of
the impact Reid had as a friend, compatriot, mentor, coach,
companion and "good guy" to those he touched....
iT WAS VERY UPLIFTING AND I WILL TAKE
THAT TO MY GRAVE. i AM FOREVER
GRATEFUL FOR THE KIND WORDS EXPRESSED BY
SO MANY ...
For those interested, you
will be pleased to know that Daizy, Reid's yellow lab,has indeed
found her permanent home! See on the memories page her new family
who have expressed joy for bringing Daizy into their home! What a
relief.....
On Sunday, March 15th, 2009, Mom, Deb,
Alicia, Matt, and I drove to Devil's
Churn to spread Reid's ashes.... It is
where our Mom and Dad's ashes are as well -- and where mine will be one
day....It's the most beautiful spot on the Oregon coast and one that
lends itself to peaceful reflection....and other emotions depending
on the weather and the time of day!
Stop by
sometime on your travels along the coast and say hi to Reid....if
you listen closely you JUST might hear him harmonizing "Is There
Sometime We Can Get Together?"...................[smile].
The (Randy) Stewart Family
Is there SOMETIME we can get together? ...
...Reid spent a great deal
of time with Portland and then the Eugene and lastly Salem, Oregon
Chapters in the Evergreen District of the Barbershop Harmony
Society. In addition, Reid was an International Stage Presence Judge
for the Society.....if he were still with us on this earth he would
continue his strong love and promotion of and recommendation
for....Barbershop Harmony.
