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.
