Please know that you, your family, and Regina are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so very sorry for your loss. I became acquainted with Regina through a course offered through Parish Nursing-Living Well with Chronic Illness. What a blessing she was!

I am thinking of you and all of your family. While there is this enormous feeling of loss, I can't help but feel great joy for a beautiful life that was incredibly well-lived with love and compassion and service. Regina was truly blessed to be such a blessing to so many. I will always remember how her face lit up a room when she was using her many gifts. God bless her family and all that she loved.

Mike and I are so sorry for your loss. Being in Seward you'll probably get 10 of the same sympathy cards and I feel that most convey the same message - that it is us who are left behind that grieve and need each other. Regina will truly be missed and has found her place next to the Lord. Until you meet again, we hope you find comfort in your faith, your memories and the family and friends that are there for you.

Dear Clint, Ann and family, Like for all of us we are saddened to have to 'let go' of our very dear friend, nurse and advisor. I know God has welcomed a very great lady into His arms. Regina has also to our family been such a caring and loving person.
My Dad and Mom were her patients before hospice and I wouldn't have been able to deal with all their care without her very loving and compassionate direction. Special hugs to Clint and Ann.

My whole heart goes out to the entire Paul/Wright family. You are in my thoughts. Regina was a beautiful and kind woman and an amazing mother who wanted the very best for her children. I am saddened by her death.

My heart is so heavy in hearing the news of Regina's passing. Her death and such great sadness that is upon her family and our community reminds me of how connected we all are in our relationships and family here in Seward. Through work, children, friends, and shared patients our paths often crossed. In each of those avenues Regina was a positive influence so full of compassion and fierce devotion to her work, her patients and her family. My deepest sympathies to Ann, Clinton, Ian, and Kali. You are all in my heart and prayers now and in the days to come.

It is hard to know what to say. This was such an unexpected loss. Regina was so kind as well as forthright, brave and a solid person. You always knew she was looking out for people while gently encouraging them to be their best version of themselves. Ann, Tina, Tulla, Robin I am thinking of you and all the best times you had with Regina. I am sure she is sorting Harold out already! Clinton, Kali and Ian,I am so sorry for your loss, I know you were everything to Regina.

I will tresasue that I got to know Regina. Her care of others is a shining example of how humanity could/should be. We were blessed to experience her care of our mother. She set the 'compassion bar' very high at Mountain Haven. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Ann,
I am so saddened to hear of Regina's death. I often reflect on how much she taught me about community nursing. She was the consumate advocate for her patients. Take comfort in knowing she touched many many lives and made such a difference in the Seward community. With muc

Clinton, Our sincere prayers to you and yours during this time of grave loss. It is never an easy transition to lose our spouse in our lives. Adjusting to their earthly absence is a continual work in progress. James and I and the rest of the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Team Family are saddened to hear of this loss. I fondly remember you guys and the talk we had a lunch about Regina driving back to Seward that night. We prayed for her safety at out team dinner. Tonight while reading the news online when I saw her face I recalled that moment in time. As hard as this is we are thankful you shared that weekend together. Remember those prescious hours that weekend and know how blessed you were as so many couples do not take the opportunity. I want you to know that she will be remembered. If we have enough couples for this November weekend their will be a moment of silence in her memory. May God hold you and keep you and may you find some comfort knowing she is in God's loving arms!
Again, our deepest condolences to your family.
