I want to offer my most sincere sympathy to all of Regina's family. I had the extreme pleasure of working with your dear mother starting back in 1968 in the loan department at Endicott Trust and it s there where our friendship began. ALL of became and remained FAMILY, bonds that never ended. That is a rare gift given to us in this life journey. And we were sorta related (by her sister marrying my Grandma Cooke's brother-Ed!!) and I will visit her grave because she will be only a stone's throw from my parents and siblings (Cooke's) at the cemetery. May she Rest In Peace, she is myFriend.
