We are so very sorry for your loss. Helen was such a tenacious mother, nana, grandNana and more. A beautiful woman whose mold was so unique, a strong backbone and enduring love for her family. You are free with the Lord now. I’ll be praying for all of you.
I’m so sorry about just hearing of the loss of Helen Medford Reese. She was a beautiful woman. Her love was endless and her humor was infectious along with her laugh. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her children and grandchildren. I am so very honored to have known and loved this wonderful woman. May earthly body RIP and may her loving, bright, wise soul be embraced by heaven’s eternal love and light. Helen, you will be forever loved and missed.
Just now saw this. I am so sorry for your loss. We went to school together at Woodfin and were friends way back then.
Sending Love & Light to Mr Mitch & Family
