David, thank you so much.
TN is a wonderful place to live
Yes, Reedus was one very involved in establishing Amelia Little League. He could be often found welding backstops and building other facilities to create a great family in Amelia, with help from his wife and children. He was tireless. He has been out of sight, but not forgotten.
We wish comfort for his children and pray that he will rest in peace.
Gene, oh my goodness. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Melinda
