My deepest sympathy to Regina's family. Regina and I met at College Misericordia and shared many memorable times and meals in Merrick Hall. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Liz Connery

I went to Misericordia with Regina as a nursing major we shared many ups and downs as well as learning and stress. I had met up with her in the early eighties after she had had her first child and she was wondering how she would deal with a second.
I am devastated that I will not have a chance to re unite with her on this earth, perhaps at a Misericordia reunion.
Peace to her family and children. She was a wonderful person.

Aunt Jean was like a bright star in the night, or a warm ray of sunshine on your shoulders. She was a very special person and will always remain so in my heart. Her memories will always live on because we loved her so much and that can never be taken. Uncle Al, Lauren, and Caitlin know that you all are loved and thought of very often.

My deepest sympathy to Regina's family. I was so sorry to hear of her passing and although it has been years since I last saw Regina I have many fond memories of our days together at Our Lady of Hungary. We were very good childhood friends and I shall always remember how she could brighten my day. Her spunk and sense of humor were contagious. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Al, Lauren, and Caitlin,
My heartfelt sympathies on the loss of Regina. What a special woman, mother, wife, friend, fellow nurse and patient. It was an honor to care for her during her long illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you all now.

Regina was an exceptional person. She and I were in the same classes at Our Lady of Hungry. As cousins, we played at her house alot and enjoyed each other's company along with our friend, Geraldine. I looked up to Regina. She was beautiful both inside and out. She was intelligent, a good friend, had a great smile and sense of humor. I can't say how saddened I was to hear of her passing. The first thing I thought of was her loving family's sadness and then, how wonderful it would be for her to see her dad again. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and everyone whose lives were fortunate enough to know and love Regina.

Regina - loved life, she was always ready to have fun and polka music was her favorite. She loved to go horseback riding or just hanging out with her beloved family. When Regina and I were growing up she was always with me because during summer vacation we took care of each other. As the years passed, we grew even closer and always were in touch with each other. Driving home from her work at Holy Redeemer, she would call and we would talk about her day or how everyone at home was doing. Regina helped many families at Hold Redeemer home care and hospice. People would always ask for her to help them in their need. Yes Regina had a very big heart and it showed through her infectious smile which I will miss deeply. So Regina, till we meet again I love you and will think of you everyday. I have enough memories to keep you alive in my heart. One more thing Regina, say hello to Dad for me.
Your loving brother, Frank
