My sympathy in the death of Regina. I have known Regina for many years through Church activities. When I think of Regina I remember her as an avid bowler and golfer. God’s Blessings to each of you. Pat
To the dear family of Regina – I want you to know that she was a special person to me. I was the piano player at the church in Onaka for about a year and a half recently, and many times Regina was one of the only choir members(or the only). She was always so kind to me, thanked me for being there, and loved it when I brought my young daughters along to Mass. They remember Regina, too, and we will all miss her. Now, we all will join in singing with her and the choirs of angels each week at Mass – I will always think of her then. God bless your broken hearts, as I’m sure you miss her terribly. I am so thankful to have known her, but the greatest thing of all is that Jesus knows her, too! You are in our prayers. In Christ, Colleen, Alison and Loretta
I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of our Regina. I didn’t even know she was battling an illness. My heart goes out to her family and friends for loosing such a wonderful person.
I will miss her dearly and I will miss her hugs.
