Hello. My brother Ed Reed and I were sorry to hear of Lena’s death. We only recently heard about it. We spent five wonderful years as children on your father’s ranch south of Winslow. We offer our condolences, but we also would love to hear from any of Lena’s sisters and “catch up” after all these years.
Sincerely,
Linda Reed Heaton, Crawford, Texas
