To the Reed Family,
I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Ike was one of a kind and that is what I will miss the most. He will always be in my thoughts and heart. It was an honor for me to get to know Ike and his family. May peace be with you in this time of sorrow. We all know that Ike would not want us to mourn over his passing. Remembering Ike will always put a smile on my face. Rest in peace Ike, you will be missed.
