Essie Reida


I remember being over there quite a bit with my friend Carl. She was always very cheery and upbeat. she always seemed happy. I remember I would tell funny stories that had happend to me or stupid jokes and she always would crack up. I also remember many a meal over there filled with laughs. She also had good stories about things that she had done and seen. She lived a good and full life. The piture that is up in the corner kind of says it all.

Essie was a dear friend of my sister Debbie (Arnold). I have so many fond memories of Essie, Debbie, Susie, and Trisha hanging out at our home. She had such an infectious laugh and a wonderful smile. She will be missed.

George, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I only was able to know Essie through facebook, she was so kind and welcoming. Take care and please know you have an old friend still, in me.
