My Dad would wish for you this Irish Blessing,
To the whole Reid Family we would say we are so sad for your loss. Andy was a beautiful man, full of love and compassion and so strong.
Andy & Mary went to our church for many years and we were part of several service ministries with them. We shared time at weekly bible studies, prayer nights, picnics and just cherished them both
They both had just the best sense of humor…I think we know the secret to their long marriage…a good laugh now and then!
We have missed their presence at weekly church services as they had to stop coming with Mary’s heath, but they were in our prayers continually. And although we are sad for this loss of fellowship, we are sure Mary is happy to have him back by her side. Can’t you just see them now!
We look forward to the day when we will have fellowship again in the place where there is no pain, no death but the place of eternal life.
Gods Blessing & Love to You All, Dave & Melinda Harkness
It was a joy being Andy and Mary’s pastor for many years at Wheatland Community Church. Andy was kind and gentle and always had an Irish smile on his face. When we has men’s study of the Bible Andy was there and his home was always opened for visitors.
I am sure he is rejoicing to be in the presence of the Lord who redeemed him from his sin and adopted him into His family. Well done my friend. You will be missed but we will be united again in the glories of our eternal home with Jesus.
Andy and Mary were my neighbors for many years
Their friendship and kindness were priceless.
They were the old fashioned neighbors with their open door policy. A reservation was not needed.
I enjoyed many great conversations over a cup of coffee and great homemade meals. They were always there for me. I will miss them terribly. They are gone but not forgotten.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
