Macy Reed

MACY RAE REED IDAHO FALLS, ID -- On Saturday, March 15, 2008, our little ray of sunshine went to heaven to be with her Heavenly Father. Macy Rae Reed was born December 3, 2002, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Michael “Barty” and Holly Meuleman Reed. Macy loved and adored her big brother, Eric, “Erico.” She was his little “Tuttie.” She watched out for him and wanted to go everywhere with him and do what he did. Macy was excited to go to school next fall and be at the same school with Eric. They were the best of friends and playmates. Macy was full of life and loved to sing, dance, play dress-up, ride her bike, and watch “High School Musical,” “Hannah Montana,” and “That's So Raven.” She was so excited last November when she was surprised for her birthday and went to the High School Musical Tour on Ice. Macy loved going to her Grandparent's farm in Rupert, where she would play with the cats and run and play in the open spaces. She had wonderful tea parties with her Grammie and memorable tractor rides with her Grampa. Macy has attended work at Innovative Health Care with her mom since she was eight weeks old. She was considered part of the staff and had her own name badge, computer and desk. She loved eating hard boiled eggs with Lonna, learning pre-school skills with Deb, and telling Marilyn all about her friends. She would often go into Amy Lou's office with her pad of paper and pencil and say, "Let's have a meeting" or "I need to have an appointment with you." Macy was a good friend to all the staff at Innovative and to the other kids who come to work with their parents. She loved to walk across the street to the gas station with Lonna, where she would get treats. She often chose a treat to share with her brother, Eric. Her daddy was her Disneyland. Macy planned many daddy/daughter dates to Macy’s Department Store together. They loved to sing, tease, laugh, and tickle each other. Macy was attending "Krista's Garden” pre-school and attended dance class, where she had many friends and playmates. Macy loved getting dressed up for her dance recitals. At the young age of five, Macy had a very special way about her. She had a very loving and giving spirit, was always laughing and smiling, and was always happy and concerned about others being happy. Macy is survived by her parents, Barty and Holly Reed, her big brother, Eric, all of Idaho Falls; maternal grandparents, Perry and Rae Meuleman of Rupert, ID; paternal grandfather, Lavon Reed of Idaho Falls; Aunt Amy and Uncle Nick Gratzer of Twin Falls, Idaho; maternal great grandmother, Madge Hansen of Twin Falls; Uncle Eddie Reed of Las Vegas, NV; Aunt Diane Taylor of Seattle, Washington; Aunt Christine (Brian) Jackson of Phoenix, AZ; Uncle Dave Reed of Idaho Falls; Aunt Michelle Thiessa of San Diego, CA; Aunt DanYal (Phil) Anaya of Fort Worth, TX; and numerous other aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by five great grandparents, a maternal uncle, Kevin Meuleman, and her paternal grandmother, Sybil Diane Reed. Funeral Services will be held at 12 Noon Wednesday, March 19, 2008, at Calvary Chapel Church, 4250 South 25th East (Hitt Road) with Pastor Gordon Boyle officiating. Visitation will be Tuesday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Wood Funeral Home, 273 N. Ridge, and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 12 Noon at Calvary Chapel Church. Burial will be in the Ririe-Shelton Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the memorial fund that has been set up in Macy’s name at any Washington Mutual Bank. In the words of our little girl . . .

God bless you Kay Tucker wedanc4fun@hotmail.com We are so sorry about your loss and share the sorrow with you. She was such a special little girl. I loved when she came to our house and would say "Auntie Kay" where is the doll stroller with the baby. I loved to tease her and tell her "I am your grandma" - and she would say "No you aren't - you are Auntie Kay". From the time she was little she could always tell her Grandma Rae and Auntie Kay apart. We always liked her visits. When her Grandma Rae was in the hospital she brought her blanket and wanted to know if I could sew up the holes and fix it for her. When she stayed with her "special" Aunt Amy they would sometimes come down and she would tell me they walked to my house. She was a sweetheart and will always be a part of all of us. Jay and Sharon Hall We are so sorry to hear of your lose of such an angel. We heard a lot about Macy from our granddaughter, Cheridan Park, from Miss Krista's class.

Even though we may not have spoke to her everyday, we could feel her bright spirit from across the street. She was always happy just being outside with Eric or her daddy. It was wonderful to see such love between her and her family. We could not ask for better neighbors. Everyday when we open our door to see your house, we will open our hearts to feel the bright love of Macy. It is an honor to get to remember the opportunity we had to meet such a perfect little angel. May God bless your home with peace and love. We are here for you.

Jay and Sharon Hall Selina Bergeron selin_de@yahoo.com Sorry about your loss... a poem: "I am standing on the seashore A ship spreads her sail to the morning breeze And starts for the ocean. I stand there watching her till she fades on the horizon And someone at my side says, "she is gone." Gone where? The loss of sight is in me not in her. Just at the moment when someone says, "she is gone," There are others who are watching her comming. Other voices take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!" And this is dying."
