REID ANDERSON One of the last times we talked you were contemplating doing a European exchange the following semester. In the meantime you moved out; first to res., then to an apartment. My heart ached as I had to learn to live without your wisdom, your humour, your mellow tunes on the guitar, your whistling, your dimples and your beautiful laugh. It was hard enough getting used to my partially empty nest .... then you died. I still pay your cell phone bill every month just so I can phone you from anywhere and hear your voice. The bond between a mother and her child cannot be broken. You will be on my mind and deep in my heart until the day I die. I will love you forever. Mom.

Reid was my hero in life. I miss him every day. He taught me how to play some nirvana songs on the guitar. We used to watch the sopranos at night and he would pay me two bucks to give him a massage while we watched it. He used to take me for dirt bike rides. I remeber comming home from school and he would cook up a batch of french fries! In school, cause he was so cool, I used to call him brother Reid, just to make his friends tease him( i dont thing it worked) We used to fight and play and laugh all the things sibblings do. We grew up together, although we aren't blood, he's my brother. When he died, i was devastated, so devasted it was the first funeral i actually didnt cry at (and ive been to a lot). I think I ran out of tears. When we went to see his body, the image still haunts me, I lost it, completely. Then Dave (my step dad) gave me his family crest pendant, that Reid had carried in his wallet. I held it so tight during the funeral and i believe it gave me strength. I carry it in my wallet now. I miss you buddy. - Posted by: Elicia (Step sister) on: Oct 13, 2012

Although I don't know you, I was very touched by your story of how you pay your son's cell phone every month so you can hear his voice. How wonderful you are. I lost my infant daughter many years ago and I can still hear her voice in my head. My sincere condolences and God bless. - Posted by: Elaine Miller (Winnipeg Girl) on: Jul 08, 2012
