Mary E. Reeves

I just received the email from my cousin on Friday and wepted like a child because Mrs. Reeves was close to my mother, Nancye Taylor Grier, and literally watched me grow into manhood. My personal grief and shock has everything to do with unresolved issues over moms death - but even more - for Bev, Carlos, Kenny, Nick, Senica and Mrs. Reeves entire family - the loss of Mrs. Reeves is global in the sense that she touched so many lives - especially mine - in a way where you are compelled to...

When I started at PennDOT in 1982, Mary and I were the only keypunch operators in the inspection division. I was young and naive.

Dear Beverly, Nick and Family,

When I saw your mother's beautiful picture yesterday I immediately thought back to the days when I would wake up the entire household Monday through Friday so that I could walk to school with Beverly...and...no matter what, your mother always made me feel so welcomed because she knew even then that it really does take a village to raise children.

To Beverly, Carolyn and families,
Was shocked when I opened the paper and saw your mother's obituary looking back at me. Whew, Can not imagine what you guys are going through. Just know that I my heart dropped.
Your mother was a beautiful person in every aspect of the word. Proof of that is in the message that Ms. Payne wrote, which bought tears to my eyes. Love and Hugs goes out to you all. Sorry I didn't know sooner. Bev, Nan sends her regards as well.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your beloved MOTHER.

May she rest in peace,
