Helping the Reynolds Family

Our deepest sympathies are with the Reynolds family who suffered a tragic fire and the loss of two family members early Tuesday morning.  Two of the surviving members of the family are band members at the high school and Woodbury, respectively.  The following information has been put together by the school district for those interested in helping in their time of loss.
---------------------------
Our deepest condolences to the Reynolds family, who lost their father, Jance, and daughter, Mary Paige, in a fire yesterday at their home on Daleford Road. Mrs. Reynolds and the two surviving daughters, Lauren Grace (WO-6) and Sarah Rose (HS-9), are recovering from their injuries. They lost all their belongings in the fire.


As always, Shaker parents and staff members are asking how they can help. For those who wish to make a financial contribution, the Reynolds Family Memorial Fund has been established for the family's benefit. Checks may be sent to Cedar Hill Baptist Church, 12601 Cedar Rd., Cleveland Heights, 44106, made payable to Cedar Hill Baptist Church with “Reynolds Family Memorial” noted in the memo.

The church is also accepting donations of clothing for the family.
• Women’s shoe size 9, clothing size 14
• Female, junior size 9
• Male size 30 waist pants, medium or large shirt
• Female shoe size 11, junior size 11 or women’s size 8
• Girls' size 12/14 clothing

For drop-offs: The church is located on the north side of Cedar between Fairmount and Coventry.

The church office is overwhelmed with offers of help. These are very much appreciated, but the staff is having trouble keeping up with the calls. Please call the church only if necessary.
