[Oe List ...] Neva (Forbes) Reece

[Dorothea Jewell via OE]

Leslie - It is hard to hear of your mother's situation. Neva and I spent
many evenings and weekends together in Development in Chicago working
primarily on funding proposals. From time to time this included all night
sessions completing, copying, and putting together final copies to meet
deadlines. I enjoyed working with her - we had some good times. 

She, you and your brother will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Leslie,

 

I remember your mom so well from the Cleveland Region days. So sorry to hear
this tragic news. My prayers are with you and the family.

 

Grace & Peace,

 

Jack

Leslie Forbes asked if I would share the following update re: her mother,
Neva (Forbes) Reece.  I asked if there is an address where people might send
a card or note; she doesn't kknow the address but is trying to get it and
will share it when she does.

 

"My biological mother, Neva Reece, had a brain injury several years ago
where her word-finding and word-understanding is impaired (she has a hard
time talking and understanding and cannot read). She also has issues with
rational thought and cannot do any numbers at all. I have been her medical
and financial power of attorney until she hired a lawyer to remove me
without my knowledge as she had done with my eldest brother. She is now a
ward of the county and has been found to have pancreatic cancer. I do not
get phone calls returned often so the information is sketchy. Doctors have
not returned my phone call, but my brother Doug is on his way there for a
consult where they will decide to have an invasive surgery or not. She is
currently in a secured facility nursing home (she twice hit a resident at
the unsecured facility so was moved). Her letters and phone calls are fairly
incomprehensible. My brother and I talk it through to see what she might be
talking about. I have been holding off posting this thinking that I would
have a better picture of prognosis since I have been told it's dormant, but
since they are talking about invasive surgery I don't know."  -- from Leslie
Forbes

 

Please keep Neva in your thoughts and prayers.
