Regina, I miss you already so much. You were first my boss and then my friend. Then we became Gigi and Memaw together. The love you had for your children and the grandbabies was strong. Love you so much and I’m so sorry to hear of your passing. You had the biggest heart of anyone I knew. Rest high in heaven and be the best angel in heaven as you were here on earth ❤️🙏🏻
God bless all of you. You are loved.
Regina was great mother, grandmother, and friend. I will miss our conversations, but I’m so glad she’s no longer in pain. She was a sweet lady, and she will be missed. ❤️
