What John loved
Faith

After a life of love and quiet grace, John Reed of Houston, TX has passed.

These few paragraphs cannot hold a life, but they may carry a memory.

John held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew them best.

Some find their compass in faith. John was among them.
