I will always remember Regina with a smile and her laughter. She and Jim are watching over you from Heaven, Janet. My deepest sympathy.
Jackie and Janet, I am so very sorry for your loss. I wanted to be there for you today but the weather hindered that. Your mom was always such a happy, loving person. You have my deepest sympathy.
To the Carljenko-Sadler Family: you have my deepest sympathy, for the loss of your loved one. We are never prepared for death, no matter how we try to do so, but we really thank God for his promise at Revelation 21:4 where He promises that death and pain will be done away with. At Acts 24:15, God promises that we will see our love ones again by means of a resurrection to live on a Paradise earth according to his original purpose for man. (Psalm 37:11; Micah 4:3,4) For to learn more about this promise for Regina and others, go to tinyurl.com/mezwv23 and read or listen to the information along with your copy of the Bible.
Dearest Janet, I had hoped to come down and give you the biggest hug today, but the weather here prevented that. I am so sad for all of you. I remember fondly my times at Ark Avenue with Regina. She was always so sweet to me. May you be comforted with beautiful memories of your wonderful Mother. Love you and miss you. Lynn
Janet,
So sorry about your mom. My thoughts and sympathy are with you and your family members. I’m sure your mother will be missed and always remembered by all the people whose lives she touched during her time on this earth
My Aunt Regina (“Putsie”) was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known.
She was a friend to all and accepting of absolutely everyone. She loved to laugh and could make us laugh for the most raucous times. I will miss her; her support and love and acceptance. Heaven has gained a true angel.
Janet: So sorry about the passing of your mother. Prayers for you and your family. It has been so long since I have seen you, hope all is good.
