Mandy Michelle Reed passed November 22, 2022. She was born November 3, 1976 in Vernon, Texas to Roger Edmonds and Karen Latimer. Mandy is survived by her parents, Roger Edmonds of Vernon, and Karen Latimer of Roanoke, Texas. She is also survived by her two younger brothers, Levi Edmonds of Vernon, and Brad Edmonds of Spartanburg, South Carolina. She is also survived by her oldest son, Jacob Reed.

Mandy married her soulmate Bryan Reed in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 7, 1996. They were married for 26 years, and had two children together, Jacob and Jared. Throughout her life, Mandy was a great partner and even better mom to her family. Bryan Reed preceded Mandy in death on November 17, 2022. With his loss came a pain that neither Mandy or Jared could bear. Both her and Jared are now reunited with Bryan. With Mandy's passing, she left behind many things, including this poem that her and Bryan shared.

"My love has made me selfish. I cannot exist without you- I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again. My life seems to stop there- I see no further. You have absorbed me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving. I should be exquisitely miserable without the hope of soon seeing you." - John Keats

A private family memorial will be held on Mustang Island at a later date. Instead of memorials, it is asked that you hug your partner and children, and let them know how loved they are.
