  21. How to cope with a wild teenagerMy earliest memories of daddy are on a tractor. He was always brush hogging or cutting hay or raking hay etc. I'd go with my mom (Betty Golden) to take daddy lunch or more water so he wouldn't get overheated in the blazing sun. Later on I became the epitomy of troubled teenager. I struggled with my teen years, and momma and daddy struggled with me. Poor decisions on my part kept me on an emotional roller coaster. One particularly bad day, daddy practically dragged me from town out to our place. He put me on his small orange tractor, gave me a quick rundown on how to drive it and said "Now. Brush hog the pasture."At first I was full of rage. At him. At my boyfriend. At life. The hum of the tractor drowned out every sound. It didn't take long before I was left with just my thoughts, and a job that needed to be done. No distractions, no demons whispering their gossip in my ear, no angry music to fuel my rage. Did he know that it would be so calming? Was it that way for him when he was in the field? I will never know, because daddy wouldn't talk about things like that. But he had some purpose behind putting me on that tractor and leaving me alone.I'm not saying it turned my life around. I raged out of control for a few more years, but it did give me a way to calm myself when things got especially bad.

    The McKinney, The McCain, & The Hill Families would like to sincerely thank the staff at Reeder Davis in Hughes Springs for the excellent services they provided to us in the death of our Mama, Dorothy McKinney. Mary went above & beyond in helping us to prepare our Mama for visitation. Amy helped us in each & every need that we had. You could not ask for a kinder man at the cemetery than Wayne. To each person that helped, we appreciate ALL that you did... Thank you, again!

    Reeder-Davis Funeral Home, Inc. in Linden and Chris were there for me and my family when Keith passed away. Chris is so caring and thoughtful and was able to help me make it through the entire process of caring for Keith and my family until the final burial. He made the journey of death so much easier by his respect for our needs and his compassion for our pain and sorrow. I have known his staff for a long time and they also helped lighten our sorrow by their outpouring of love and compassion. Reeder-Davis also took care of my precious mom when she passed away three years after Keith. I still hug Chris and thank him whenever I can for helping me through losing loved ones.

    When my 52 year old younger sister passed away we couldn't have fathomed the grief her 15 year old would be going through. She wanted to be involved in her mom's service planning Reeder-Davis employees were very patient and listened to her every wish. For that I am most grateful. Thank you for the services you provide our small community... we are blessed to have you as part of our town.
