Pat; when I heard you sing, I suddenly realized I'd never see his glowing, smiling face again and I began to look for him in the room, He was not there.
Regina: when I recieved word to call or show up. I froze in time and here today 11/4/07 I've began to unthaw.
Mickey; When I saw your face I felt all the hurt,pain and sorrow.
Otis;When we hugged all the old memories overflowed my being.
Little Reg; Seeing you and your brother and sister,reminded me of how lonely we'll all be.
But know that God is in control and he never makes mistakes. In Noah times God took a lot of Saints so they would not have to witness the evil times and tribulations ahead(like the flood). We are now in evil times. Just remember Reggie will not have to experience the times ahead of us, But know he'd want us all to have a closer relationship with God thru his Son Jesus Christ.
To the rest of the family and friends also know he wishes the same for you too.
Ronams 12:1&2 says: be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds...
Know that Reggie Loved us all a lot, and he will be sorrowly missed by all he came in contact with.
In Gods Love. Bless You All, and my he continue to give comfort to all who ask it of Him, AMEN. Alice (Kiss FeFe for me).

Regina and family, may GOD comfort your body, your minds, your spirits and your souls -- just like a mother comforts her child in-need. I believe all who had the pleasure of knowing Reggie's gentle spirit will cherish and carry good thoughts of him fondly in their minds forever. (I will) because Reggie was, and is still a good friend of mine from back in the day when life's simple pleasures were less stressful and more enjoyable. Reggie is just waiting for us all to join him again, so we can celebrate and rejoice together. We must believe that our FATHER in HEAVEN has reserved a place for us ALL! GOD bless Reggie and Family Marilyn McEady & Family

I have been a life long friend of Reggie. I will miss him dearly, his smile , his words, his joyfulness and most of all his friendship. But I thank God for memories and we share a lot of them. To the family you know me as Bug. I know we all hated to see him go. I will pray that you all stay strong. Just remember our true strength comes from God. Phil 4:13

To Regina, Pat, his brothers, children and the rest of the family. My heart was heavy when I heard of Reggie's passing. He was like a brother to me. Memories of him, his smile, his cool swagger, the good days and the fun we had when we were younger will forever be in my mind and my heart. I remember when he would come over our house to see my brother Bug when we were young and I would always try to play pool with them! Sleep on Reggie. Take your rest. Family, be encouraged: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Also, please take comfort in knowing that God will never leave you nor forsake you, even in this. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this valley. Love

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
