WEST CHESTERÂ â Carly Louise Boyland and Bradley Reed had several things in common.
Both were graduates of Perkiomen Valley High School in Collegeville, Montgomery County, Boyland in 2018 and Reed eight years earlier in 2010. Both lived in northern Chester County, Boyland outside Phoenixville and Reed in Spring City. Both worked in the restaurant industry, Boyland at Molly Maguireâs in Phoenixville and Reed at the Brickside Restaurant in Pottstown.
But there is one significant difference between the two: Reed is alive today, and Boyland is dead.

Unfortunately, both were among other things also drug users, and according to court records, Reed s desire to act as a drug sharing friend to Boyland played a major role in her April 2019 death.

At 3 a.m. one September morning, Susan Omlor called the ambulance for her husband, Walt, who was having trouble breathing. She didn t see him again for two and a half months - and she was lucky. She didn t need the funeral home services she had been instructed to set up. Many in Delaware County know Walt Omlor, the affable 78-year-old director of the county s Community Services program, constable and lifelong resident of Upper Providence. Known for his positive attitude, kind demeanor and towering figure, those, along with a fair amount of prayers, may have been what saved him from a bout of COVID-19 that left him precariously close to death s door.
