Condolences
Regina always had a smile, kind word and a warm laugh to greet us when we visited. She always made us feel welcomed and a part of the family. I will miss seeing her doing her gardening and her showing off the newest craft she had made. There's nothing to say to ease the loss of a mother. Cherish all your wonderful memories of her. Remember a mother's love lives on in your heart and the hearts of everyone she touched. Wishing you comfort and peace and sending you all our deepest sympathy. Her legacy lives on in you.
From my family to yours, You were a beautiful person inside and out. No more pain, spread your wings and fly high now. Heaven has received another angel.
My lovely sister has gone home. I know you are finally whole, healthy and at peace. I'm sure your garden in heaven will outshine all others. I love you and miss you.
