Missing my beloved brother and eagerly awaiting our reunion in God's Kingdom.

I just want to say that even though my dad and I did not have as much contact as I wished, or I am sure he wished I understand why. I as a parent can look and see that if I were in a situation such as his, it would break my heart to see my children and then have to leave not knowing for certain when I would get to see them again. Sometimes the best thing to do and the best way to show your love is to just step away and that is what he did. He knew that we were being well taken care of. Julie and I always did and always will know that he loved us very much...To my dad I know you heard me as I held your hand, (the same hands I look at of my own and see yours) I Love You, I Forgive You and I will see you again someday and you better have open arms with a big hug, and a I Love You Jamie Ann Jelly Bean

Jamie, Julie, Family, and Fiends, of Reggie. I am very sorry for another loss of a beloved family member of the Kotajarvi's. As for Reg, I will always remember the days long ago, when we were young kids, playing, hanging out, and having fun. I will always have good memories of Reg. I will say this to his daughters, please look for the good in your dad, just ask his bothers and sisters, we can tell you of the good times, those are the thoughts that matter. You can call, write, or e-mail, at any time. I would be glad to answer any questions. May God bless and take care of all of us at this time.

I was so sad to hear of Reggie's passing. I remember him as a very sweet boy who spent allot of time at my house when I was in the family. He was a good kid who had a sweet spirit. Please accept my sympathy. My prayers are with you all at this time.

Beloved brother Reggie,
Although my heart aches and the pain of your passing feels unbearable, I give thanks this day for the blessing of a brother who has given me so very much. The love we share will live in my heart forever and I thank the Lord for the 46 years that you occupied such a special place in my life. I give thanks for a kind and loving God who has taken you home and granted you the peace that you are so deserving of. May God bless you in heaven little brother. I love you, Reg...always and forever.
Your sister,
Seven
