I'm just learning of Ms. Reid's passing. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but she and I did correspond a few times regarding the Redford family. I am fortunate to have a copy of her Redford book and will cherish it always. You will be missed, Cousin.My sincerest regards,Autumn Redford

Dear Stanley, Glenn, and Gary, I am so sad to hear of the loss of June. Our family will always remember your family wih love. We were close neighbors and friends as far back as I can remember. How I treasure those years on our farms at Lenorah, Texas. June and Stanley were always there for the Nichols family. May God bless you and heal your hearts during these days of sadness and loss. Love, Jan (Janis Ann)

I'm sorry to hear of this loss. Although I never met June she provided much information to me on the Redford branch of our family. It is so hard to believe that I use to live within a few miles of her and never knew it. We may not have met on this earth but we will get to have that last family reunion in our heavenly home. Till later.

Dear Family: We were sadden to read about June's passing. Linda Bess and Tom remember her as far back as the 1940s. She was our nurse at the hospital on several occassions. She helped us with Lesa's first bottle when we came home with her. We moved to Dallas 21 years ago, and remember your family so well. You are in our prayers. Our Love to you. The Angels
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

What an indescribable loss for those of us left behind; but what a spectacular reunion in heaven with all those that she loved that went to heaven before her. How good the Lord was to let us enjoy the pleasure of her wisdom and company for 94 years. She touched the lives of everyone she ever came in contact with. She leaves a void that simply can't be filled. Praising God for what she meant to me personally and all those years she loved and cared about Thayne. What a privilege it is to be a part of this family, if only through marriage. There simply isn't another like it! Yes, what a reunion that is going on in heaven RIGHT NOW, as those that loved her SO much grieve on earth. Thank you Jesus for what she meant to ALL; but praising God we get to spend eternity with her and all the others that went on before her that loved Jesus as well. (I read the last chapter of THE BOOK, and WE WIN!). My only regret is that I can't be there for her service; but certainly will be there in spirit. This poem "Should I Ask You Back" is SO appropriate in her case: We wept - 'twas nature wept - but faith, That cannot live by ghost or wraith, In that far world so fair and bright Beholds you in refulgent light. We miss you here, yet faith rejoices That you have joined those heavenly voices; Nature sees the body dead, But faith beholds the spirit fled. Nature stops at Jordan's tide, But faith beholds the other side. So you are gone; now life seems black. And shall I ask to have you back? Back--and leave the Spirit's brightness? Back--and leave your robes of whiteness? Back--and leave the Rock who feeds you? Back--from springs to which He leads you? Back--and leave your heavenly Father? Back--to earth and sin? No, rather, would resign to solitude. I would not ask you if I could; But patient wait my risen Lord Till nature cuts this silver cord; And He who fashions all things new Shall bring my spirit home to you.

With deep sympathy during this time of sadness and loss. Mrs. Reid was my mentor when I started working at the hospital in Stanton 47 years ago. In more recent years we were both active members of the Permian Historical Society, and I enjoyed visiting with her at PHS meetings. Mrs. Reid leaves an awesome legacy of service to the nursing profession, to local historical preservation and to Martin County. She will be greatly missed. Wishing peace and strength to your family.
