I worked with Reggie a great many years at GVH and I must say she was a really nice person that was liked by all and had many friends there. May God bless you in your loss and time of need

Sweet Reggie, with a sense of humor that could be dry and yet, leaving you laughing minutes after her comments! Thank you for the contribution you were to the people in your life and especially to those of us who were honored to share your talents and wit and focus and ideas for our shared home in Cayman Brac. I've thought of you often and now, I know you are sharing your beautiful self and love with your dear Allison.

Dear Reggie, Thank you for countless hours of work and laughter in OR room 3. Thank you for Ralph and Marcella. Thanks for making me your "MYN." But most of all thank you for your friendship...you taught me so much about ENT....but most of all you taught me that laughter can be the light to lead me out of any darkness. Please tell Dr Clary, Kim Shepherd, and Sherron Dalton I said hello.....

My sympathies to Reggie's family and to all who loved her. I am convinced she was put here on earth to bring smiles and make people laugh. She had her serious moments but by far was almost always positive, upbeat and funny. Now she is in Heaven making all those who went before her laugh and smile. Heaven is a brighter place with her presence. You are missed already my friend! Lucky are those who now get to have fun with you.

What a great person Reggie was. Her laugh was infectious and her impersonation of Dr. Alway priceless. I have truly missed talking to her, she had an amazing spirit.

My condolences to all on Reggie's passing. She was one of the happiest and most positive of fellow employees at Grandview Hospital and I have missed her since her leaving. I dealt with her primarily as a Products and Materials Specialist when Grandview had its own Materials and Purchasing Department; she was the life and energy of that. She and I constituted the "Products Committee" for Grandview and Southview; we looked at, tested, reviewed, and decided upon most products, equipment, and materials used by Nurses on patients. One could not have asked for a better partner in those endeavors. Brian Guenterberg MS RN-BC, Grandview Hospital.

I will always remember Reggie's infectious wake of laughter echoing down the halls of Grandview's surgical halls. Her time working closely with Jack Alway and the comedy central in OR 3 comes immediately to mind.
Her spirit lives on in so many she affected in those 20 plus years of service.
Our prayers and condolences goes out to fer family and friends.

I know that many will remember Reggie's sense of humor and outlook on life, as did I, but her spirit was amazing! She was such a fighter! Reggie would walk into a room and just light it up! Such a talented comedienne. I will miss the laughter she brought to any situation. I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers, and I know that, in time, Reggie's legacy of laughter will bring you joy. She will be missed.

My husband and I will miss her a lot. She was a fun loving person that was always entertaining us and making us feel loved and welcome. She was very talented in many ways. I was lucky enough that she built me a garden bench for my gardens. She loved for us to watch great movies together and also to sing together. I am really going to miss that with her. You could always be yourself with her because she excepted all of us. I am so glad that I and my husband got to be a part of her life. love Sonia and Don Grafton
