“On this day five years ago the Lord unexpectedly yet in His perfect Providence brought home to glory my oldest sister and best friend Vicki,” Reeder shared on Facebook.
He posted several pictures of the two of them from their childhood together.
“I miss her yet rejoice for her every day unstoppable love, wisdom loyalty and our daily phone calls and her contagious love for Christ, evangelism, Christ’s Church, her friends and her family,” he wrote.
In what perhaps were his final words ever, he wrote:
“See you soon Sis!”
