Reesa was my best and often only friend through most of Mumford and except for a few year gaps
here and there was a good friend for many years afterward. I am still devastated at losing her even after
one year. We shared any things in common,but, we understood each other's differences,too.
My son used to like talking to her and she seemed to understand him better than I did at times. When I was in town I usually split my time between his place and hers. We'd all go out
to eat including his housemate and we'd spend time at her place playing board games and cards. He was
very upset at her passing as I was. My daughter saw her less,but, really liked her,too.
She had an incredible memory for many classmates whom we both knew but more so for
those I didn't know or remember. We weren't part of the in-crowd,but it didn't seem to phase us. We could
tune the others out and kept most contacts during school hours. We did end up having a class together
at Wayne years later.
Had I known how ill she really was when she talked to me in October, 2015, I'd have done my best
to visit her. I guess she did not want to worry me. I feel terrible I did not see her one last time.
This past October 5 of us got together and said some prayers over her temporary headstone. I hope to meet with them again where we can get together,too, and remember her.
Rest in Peace, Reesa! You'll never be forgotten! Helen R. Slabosky (GEAN)

It has now been two years and three months. Still just devastated, pain will eventually fade but memory will
always remain forever. Helen R. Gean (Slabosky)
