On July 9, 2010, Rick Reams, my former brother-in-law (ex-husband of my sister, Jackie) and awesome dad of my nephew, Jackson, and niece, Madison, died unexpectedly of an anuerysm at the age of 58. He was retired from the Army and was working at Fort Hood in Texas at the time of his death. He was buried near his hometown of Cape Girardeau, Mo. He spent many years working at Fort Meade in Maryland, and today Ft. Meade held a Memorial Service for Rick. Here are a few photos I took with my cell phone after the Service was over.
