Erna Mary Reed,

Dear Kate, Greg, Mike, and Beth. I'm so sorry to learn of your mom's passing. She was a good person, and I'm glad that we were able to see her a couple times in recent years. She always had so many great things to say about her children and grandchildren. Seems strange that we're now the age that your parents were when we all lived in Nakoma... We're out of state this week, but will be thinking of you, your mom, and your dad on Saturday. Greg, I'll be back Sunday if you're wanting any company or have any errands or things that I can do. Sincerely, Betsy Betsy Christians, Mark Smith, Nate and Molly Smith cell 608-514-3043 home 848-8675

Greetings to my second family. You are all so special to me, and we have lived through a lot together...through many years. I will always be around for you...always. Let it be known that Erna Reed made the best goulash in Dane County and I'm so thankful that I was able to sneak across the street to eat some of her yummy home made cookies! God bless you all. Love, Christine P.S. Maggie and Emily send their love, too.

Dear Erna's family, Please accept our deepest sympathy. Erna was a very special person who constantly amazed us with her endless energy and interest in others. Erna & I met in legal auxiliary about 17 yrs. ago when Jon's job took us to Madison. She encouraged me to get involved in a number of committees with her & our friendship developed from there. I last spoke with her just before her birthday. I didn't know that she wasn't well. I will always remember her with fondness. Love, Jane & Jon Wilcox
