I just found out about Regina's passing and it saddens me. She was such a sweet person in high school so I know she had to have been a wonderful woman. I wish I had known she lived so close (I live in Wichita) so we could have gotten together. RIP Regina and know that your family is in my prayers.

My thoughts a prayers to the Kaberline and Moen Family. I use to be Regina's Manager at the Federal Reserve Bank. She was such a pleasure to work with. She always had a smile no matter how crazy it was at work. She will be dearly missed.

I will miss your positive upbeat and always cheerful "Morning!" as you announced your daily 6:30am greeting of a brand new work day. I am also amazed by your example of strength and your positive spirit in life and throughout your battle, never letting it show no matter how difficult it must have been.

I was so blessed to have Regina as a wonderful neighbor for 8 years. She was very special to me and my family, in fact she was our family here in kc. She was always there to help to me either taking my golden and Sadie's best friend for walks or to the park, watching emmalee while I worked out or worked, watering my plants while gone, or just being a wonderful person to talk to. You will always hold a special piece of of my heart. I thank you for being there for me and I will miss you dearly, but I know you are in heaven walking trails with your beloved Sadie.

To a fellow animal lover and a wonderful co-worker. It was always a joy to hear from you, no matter what time of the day or night you called with a problem. You will be missed by all of your FRB colleagues.

I so enjoyed sharing stories with Regina about grandchildren, reading, and our love of dogs. She was such a postive and genuinely nice person and my heart reaches out to everyone who knew and loved her.

Regina, you will be greatly missed! The few years I worked with you I learned so much and appreciate all you shared/taught us not just with work but about how important life/family is. One memory that pops in my head was our trip to Boston and the unintended sightseeing we got to see on our redline adventure to see our Boston Fed Friends!

At this given moment I am very grateful for Face Book for it put me back in touch with Regina. It gave me an insight and "caught me up" a little on Regina's darling family, grand-children and pups :) What a full life :))

Our families grew up together pretty much as one family…we were blessed! Well, most of the time, our parents tended to raise all the kids in both families as ONE! Looking back I do know we were very blessed and completely loved. But at the time there were always “extra” eyes and guidance given by all adults in rearing respectful kiddos. I will admit sometimes fewer eyes would have been awesome (from a kiddo's point of view). As an adult I feel blessed many times over to have had the Kaberline family in my life!! We shared many a BBQ, First Holy Communions, and Baptisms…actually all of the Catholic Sacraments. There was always fun, food, family, pranks and most of all LOVE! Indeed we were all blessed.

Time has a way of flying by, families move and grow apart but, I'll always consider the Kaberline family as my own. I was able to “re-connect” with Regina, Mark and Joey in the past few years simply by finding Regina on Facebook. Despite the passing of years with little or no communication our conversations took of easily and quickly as family conversations do. I'll forever be grateful to have had the opportunity to re-connect.

I know you are amongst the sweetest of angels Regina and the welcoming committee in heaven was sure to have fun, food, family and possibly a prank or two, but most of all there is LOVE.

To my fellow Jayhawk fan. I will forever miss year and having the opportunity to talk Kansas basketball with year.

I know you departed the tourney before your time smile).

We were talking about KU's big 12 Tourney win on Saturday. Your last words texted to me at 09:52 PM were LI! I know you meant Loving It.

I will forever cherish all the memories and times we've had together. You will always have a place in my heart my friend.

Rock Chalk to you to the end.

Having Regina as a cube neighbor was never dull. Thru many projects, frustrations, laughs, silliness, and countless memories you will always be part of me, as you will never be forgotten.

The excitement before your trips to see your family, and the stories and pictures you would share when you returned. and the glow you had when telling us. Your laugh was and is forever etched in my memory.

Bradford reminds me of the first time he met you at the old building when we were taking plants from the executive floor. How you made him and all of us laugh how funny you were.

To your grandkids/kids and family you know her, but to let you know even at work and outside, she was happiness, love, silliness, funny, the list goes on. She shared her life with us, and we are gratefull for our time we had. She was never a co-worker, she was a true friend.
