CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF NOBLE REYNOLDS Jr!!
The Uncle Noble I know may not be the Noble you know and that's ok. He was to you as he wanted you to see him. When you see him there are two distinct characteristics you will see. First, his smile with a hearty laugh that fills up the room. Second, his style and sense of dress were like none other, he just looked like he was somebody of importance. He was to the World, he had that "It Factor" that placed him in movies and I am sure The Five Heartbeats wasn't the only film he appears in. It's just the one that we all saw as children. As a young girl, I wanted to entertain and be the most stylish person in any room without saying a word and yet everyone knows you are there. That is a skill. To keep your personal life private and on a need-to-know basis is the life of a Dreamer as we tend to be in our thoughts looking for ways to be expressive.
As you walked in this afternoon you heard music that he played, songs that reflected what he thought about himself and the image he wanted us to know him as. I am not going to lie, this was a hard week of preparation, knowing I just spoke to him less than a month ago. Let me share something with everyone about the Reynolds Men, they are all charming, slick talking and could pull any lady they wanted. "Hi Mom.., lol" Every time I am around Uncle Russell he makes me feel so getty inside, that I matter, I am beautiful and smart. Noble was no different, as he asked are you still fine, I just giggled and said of course. What else was I to say? 😆 That is the role of Uncle to reinforce what their siblings were doing with their children and love on us as if we were their own. I stand here today as a proud niece to be in this position by the Family to say Farewell for now in top Reynolds fashion to your brother who joins Denise, our uncle, he's parent Noble & Rena's Reynolds now with their son, the father of Noble III who are together again, the oldest nephew to his favorite Aunt Skipper and the list goes on of those loved ones who preceded him in death. Amen.
Humbly Submitted,
Your Niece
