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

[Shelley Hahn via OE]

Leslie has appreciated the responses on this forum.  Here is another
message from her:

"Thank you Shelley! I will try to figure out how to pass these on to her.
She said she would welcome phone calls and I will pass on her address as
soon as I get it. She is at 573-355-8190. She has good days and bad days.
Sometimes her thoughts wander so you can reiterate the point so she gets
back to it (I think she forgets what she's talking about). Sometimes she
just uses the wrong words. She wanted to make sure people knew she wasn't
"the same""
