Travis and his wife, Artie, had been our family friends since 1972. The Reeds were always willing to help you in any situation. We could not have asked for better friends! Also, Travis was such a faithful deacon at Second Baptist Church in Bridge City, and as a Chriistian husband and father, Travis set a fine example. Our family has been blessed to have Travis and Artie in our lives! If there is a golf course in Heaven, you will find Travis and Ed playing there!!May the Lord bless the Reed's daughters, Arlene and Elaine and their families and give them comfort during this sad time.Our love and prayers,Bruce & Sally Montague
