I offer my condolenses to the family of Reginald Dickens. Reggie was a very dear friend to my sister Wanda and my brother Eddie for years. Reggie visted our household regularly and would always have us laughing and we can never forget that affectionate smile and those pearly white teeth.Reggie loved to hear his self talk because he love laughing his self at whatever he would say. He loved his children and did all that he could for them. He was a good DAD...My family had the opportunity to go through his first illness and he went into remission and did fine. GOD is good, he knew Reggie's job here on earth was completed and called him home. You see I can hear Reggie saying something funny right about now and GOD just laughing. Be strong, and be happy, Reggie is now in Paradise celebrating with the LORD. Keep the faith, keep GOD first in your life, be obedient to his word and you will see him again...

Wanda Banks extends her deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one, Mrs. Roberts. Reginald was a part of my life as well as my friend for 17 years. We attended the same elementary school and shared a lot of good years together. We spoke two days prior to his passing. I lost my sister in November 2009 to bone cancer, so we spoke often on his treatment and his expectations once his treatment was finished. After he informed me that he was terminal, I just told him to put all his trust in God. I was blessed to be with my sister as she went home to be with our Christ. It was an experience I will never forget. I would just like to say to you that walking with God is the most exciting and rewarding of all experiences on eath. It is also the most difficult. Those who walk closest to God are those who, like Jesus, become acquainted with trials and testings. God takes us through struggles and difficulties so that we might become increasingly more commited to him. You will now be even more comforted by the Lord. Trust in that. It is sad that Reginald's plan of marriage to his financee on his death bed never came to fruition. God knows best. Stay strong and continue to trust in our Father.
