“Don’t cry for me, I’m alright

I’m better than you know

This life can be a short ride

So don’t waste it on sorrow

Just hold onto those moments

And the memories we shared

We’re both headed to the same place anyway

I just beat you there”

Memorial service to take place 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 16, 2025 from Fewer’s Memorial Chapel, Clarenville.

    Madonna, Tyler, Alex, Ethan and all the Reid family, hold on to the memories, the kindness, the life lessons she taught you and remember a person is always with you when you are there to remember them, as long as they are a part of you they are never completely gone!
