My heartfelt condolences to the entire family and friends of Reid. I’ve only just recently worked with Keith and witnessed the testament of the love and dedication of his family. As a clinical social worker with many years working in the stem cell transplant unit, I’m familiar with the pain associated with blood cancers. Sending prayers and cares to you all. Be blessed, T
