I will miss my Aunt Reggie, my fondest memories were when all the cousins were young, and the grandmothers and grandfathers were alive. Going to Grandview Terrace in Hartford, Sheffield St in New Britain on Sundays. Such happy memories - Aunt Reg was always sweet and loving!! She will always be remembered as my favorite Aunt (technically she wasn't) but she was my Godmother. Love you and miss you ??

Dear Janet: I was so sorry to read that your Mom, Reggie, passed away. She was a dear friend to my Mom, Mary Mull, who passed away on August 5, 2013. I'm sure they're having a happy reunion catching up on all the happenings at Cedar Mt Commons since they last saw each other. They were special friends and always looked out for each other. May fond memories warm and comfort your heart during this difficult time. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Patti ([email protected])
