Carolyn's Story
Life
My mother never filled this out, so I figured I can fill it out to the best of my knowledge. Jean graduated in 1969. She met my father, William Reiff in 1975 and got married on June 8 1975. She was 24 when she got married. They moved to Hatfield, Pennsylvania. She was 35 when she had me on October 6, 1986. We as a family moved from Hatfield, Pennsylvania to Gillett, Pennsylvania on May 31, 1996. Jean was active in the church down home and here in Gillett. She got to live in her dream house (which is the one in Gillett) for 6 years and almost a month. She celebrated her and my father's 27th wedding anniversary a little over 2 weeks before she died. My mother was off balance and fell on her knee, causing a very large bruise which we thought nothing of. She stayed in bed for a few days and rested. On the morning of June 25, 2002, I went into her room to wake her up since she was sleeping late, and I found my mother dead....Expand for more
The bruise we all thought nothing of was in reality, a very large blood clot that dislodged and became trapped in her main artery, blocking the blood flow to her heart. It was during her sleep, which she wanted, and she died peacefully. The funeral was held on July 8, 2002 at the church she knew and loved. She was surrounded by many friends and family at the funeral. She left behind a loving daughter and a husband, a sister and 2 brothers, 3 nephews and many many friends. She was unable to be there for my prom and graduation and most of my high school life, because she died when I was 15. I had 15 great years with my mother, and I know I am blessed by having her for my mother. I posted this because I know she had friends at Deptford, many which she told me about. If any of you have any questions for me, you can contact me through here or via email. Thanks for taking the time to read this...
