To Sister Lillian and family, My deepest condolences are extended to you on the passing of Brother Reason. I’ve know him to be a dedicated servant at Varick, seemingly always there and always “doing.” I pray that God as comforter will keep you in His arms, and that the love of family and friends will surround you as you journey through.
