My condolence to Regina's family and friends.
May the Lord give strength to all those who mourn Regina, by helping us to celebrate the life that He gave her and the impact that she had on those around her. I pray the Lord help us to accept His ways, thou we may not understand them, but that He allows us to come to a place in our life that we learn to trust him. May the Lord draw us closer to himself by the Holy Spirit that we find peace and purpose for our lives that God's divine purpose be for filled in our lives.
My prayers are with all of you. May God bless and keep you.

To The McDonald Family:
Mrs. McDonald and Rhonda I was shocked to here of Regina's passing. I just got off the phone with Cathy and she informed me that Rocky saw the obit in the newspaper. Please know that we will miss Regina, she had a wonderful spirit and was loved by many. I remember all of us growing-up in Westwood and how we use to play at each other's homes and how your husband/Dad loved Mama and Daddy's sweet potato pies! It's been a long time, but the memories are good and we will keep you all in our prayers. When I was home last year for my Dad's service, I stopped in Westwood and drove around the neighborhood. I drove slowly down Clarkson Avenue and I thought about us playing kick-ball in the street and hide and seek in the evenings... Rhonda, that was back in the "60's", I can't believe how fast time has gone by... I would also ask Linda and Joe if they had seen you or Regina, but they didn't have contact numbers for you... I'm just so sad to hear about Regina. Please contact me by email ([email protected] or at my office 305-349-7391). We will miss Regina, but the scripture says, "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the LORD", you can't get any better than that, so continue to be encouraged my friends and know that "we" will see Regina on the other side. May the LORD continue to keep you all is our prayers... Our love to all...

To the Taylor and McDonald Family,
Our prayer's are with you all. May the Lord comfort you on every side. The Mitchell family grew up with Regina and family many years ago and it was always a pleasure to be with them and Regina. She had such a nice smile and humble spirit. She will surely be missed. Our tears are with you, and know that "to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord". I just heard about it today. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call 937-262-3010.
Much Prayers, Vickie and the Gracie Mitchell Family (Former Hoover Neighbors).

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
