Uncle Mike…my biggest memory…the one that makes me laugh now thinking back on it, was when you convinced me that if I went into the basement a mongoose would get me. I didn’t even know what a mongoose was, but it kept me out of the basement for sure. I also remember visiting you in South Carolina and you took us riding out into the clear cut…we had the best time. RIP, I know that Timothy, Wendy, Chris and Nicholas all will miss you, and so will I…you were a big part of my childhood.

My deepest sympathy to the Reece Family and friends. Death is an enemy that humans can not defeat, but our heavenly father will eliminate death forever (1Corinthians 15:26) God has given us hope for our loved ones that have fallen asleep in death and he has given us hope and strength to continue to carry on (Acts24:25 & Isaiah41:10). Do not be afraid for God is with all who are Broken in Heart and he lovingly cares for them.
“Death brings heartache that no one can heal except God almighty.
Love leaves memories that no one can take away from us, know matter how long we have them.
These memories that we have of our love ones is a treasure in our hearts that will be cherished forever.
Hold on to these memories for they are of great value to you as well as in the eyes of God.”
May you be comforted during this time of bereavement.
Wendy says

My daddy, it’s been 2 months, 2 days since you passed on. I’m still waiting in my phone too ring. I miss you so much. I know you are enjoying heaven, but I sure wish Heaven wasn’t so far away. People tell me it gets easier, but the tears still flood me…..you were invincible, you could get through anything. But u know you aren’t hurting or struggling too breathe anymore. I love and miss you so much daddy. FLoSSy loves you. 🙁
