My dear Aunt Icy, you were like a second mother to me. You are sorely missed and I will always cherish the moments we spent together. Most of all, my time spent in Knockpatrick with you, Uncle Melvin and my beautiful cousins as a young child. These photographs were taken in 2009, 2010 and 2015—the last time I saw you. With all my love, Jackie (David and Thomas) xxx

“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord” In the year 2019 & 2021 I had the pleasure of assisting to care for Mrs. Reynolds. As a caretaker, I found her to be very pleasant. I can compare her to a verse in the the book of Proverbs. A virtuous woman, full of compassion, very loving, caring and humble. She always thanked me for everything I did for her. Sitting beside her day by day, I would hear her talking to herself. When I asked what was wrong she would reply “not you Ms. Cherry, I’m talking to my God”. I have learnt a lot from her, and she has left footprints for her children to follow. I believe she has found a resting place in the arms of Jesus Christ. And as the song says when the roll is called up yonder Mrs. Reynolds will be there. Rest In Peace Mrs. Reynolds. Albertha McFarlane (Ms. Cherry)
Aunt Icy as she was affectionately called by her neices and nephews was a quiet soft spoken but cheerful person. As a sister-in law I can say she generated love.She loved her family dearly.Infact she was a family oriented person.Aunt Icy was avery confidential person whom I could tell anything and felt asure it would remain. Most of all she loved theLord dearly.She will be missed by all of us. Sleep Aunt Icy take your rest.See you in the morning!

It seems like I have known Mrs. Reynolds forever. As I reflect back on her life and all the lives she touched, I feel very fortunate to have been around her and that has made me a better person. She was a phenomenal woman and a tower of strength who brought lots of joy to her family and friends. Like many of us she had her own physical challenges but the manner is which she fought them shows the strength of her character. I thing of myself as part of her “family” and was honored to be with her in her final days. RIP – Ms Icy. I will miss you. Hylma Wynter

Sister Icy as I call her was very quiet spoken, loving and caring wife and mother. Standing by her husband for the last 68 years and giving of her best to her children as a God fearing woman. As we celebrate her life, my message to my brother Melvin, nieces Yvette, Opal, Sonia, nephew Mike and grand-nephews, is I share your grief at her passing. However, take comfort, we shall see her again at the second coming of Christ.
Mrs. Reynolds will always be remembered as a gentle, beautiful, stately and skilled woman. She was the essence of the “Proverbian” woman. ❤ She was respected and admired by my family and me. Prayers ascending for Bro. Reynolds who has lost his “rib” and for each of the children, their spouse(s), grandchildren and the many relatives and friends in the immediate circle. ~Maranatha~ Love, Jennifer Gray “Brown”

So privileged to have an aunt such as Icy, she is a paragon. I smile each I think of her. All of you are very fortunate to have quality years together. Sending you love and peace. Hope to visit in person soon. Love Carol
We are praying for father Reynolds, Yvette, Pat., Michael and Sonia at this time as they put there mother to rest. The Reynolds family is my family too as neighbors from we all wore kids. Mother Reynolds always had a smile on her face, Christian mother, calm and a loving unassuming lady. There is so much good to say, and I know she died knowing all that she needed to hear then. And to the family all these memories it will give you hope and for all to emulate a Christian long lived life. Let us all be faithful until that first resurrection day. Love you all. Mandalee, Tony& Antoinette
