Dear Bob and Family, I am so glad to have known Regina, she was as we called her Saint Regina for all that she has done for her family and friends. She never slowed for anything. She had enought energy for a hundred people. I will pray for her and am sure she's in heaven watching over everyone like she always did. My prayers are with all of you.
Love, Cousin Judi

To the entire Colantuono family I wish to express my deepest sympathy in the passing of your wonderful wife and mother Regina. My mother Sylvia has talked fondly of her cousin and told me stories of the times they spent together when they where both girls. Over the past week I have been remembering the weekend that I spent at your home on Cape Code. Regina that weekend none spot bundle of energy and love taking care of Bob, her children, her grandchildren, near by family, and of course my mother and I wow!
Although my mother and I will not be able to be with you at this time we want to extend to you our deep sense of loss and to let you all know that you are in out thoughts and in our preys.
