My dearest family,
I will always remember our many family gatherings at your house as a kid, which continued well into our adult years. We are blessed to come from such a loving family whose hearts reached out to so many. I shall miss my dear Aunt Regina & the long talks & visits we had so often. I know we will continue to gather, as will our ancestors, who are rejoicing in Heaven. Still, the sorrow is deep & I will keep you in my prayers as you journey through this path.

Regina was a wonderful woman, strong in faith and full of life and loving kindness. I learned a lot from her - mostly to appreciate what I have, not waste time worring about the small stuff and never miss an opportunity to say "I love you." I love you, Regina. She has been like a member of the Scott family for a long time - always present at family gatherings because she was part of our family. We will miss her, but are happy that she finally made it home.
