Jennifer and Family So sorry for your loss. Regina was a special lady. Prayers and Hugs
My thoughts are with all of you during this time. When we lose our moms the world needs to stop turning. I understand what you are going through and know this will leave a huge hole. Love you Jen and sending the family huge unending hugs. I can’t wait to celebrate the wonderful life of your mom and mourn her passing.
We were Regina’s neighbors for many years when she moved into the house on the corner at 314. She kept her place so nice and her pies were delicious! We enjoyed our many yard conversations with Regina. We moved and have thought and spoke of her many times over the years, even just last week so I was shocked to learn of her passing this morning. We have a lovely slate piece she painted that we will cherish. Please accept our sincere condolences to her family.
Dear Kris and Bruce, So sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
We are so sorry for your loss. We cherish all the memories from your family. Bless you all at this time.
