Deepest sympathy to all the family and friends as I know Gina, Regina, G-Ma, Nana….. will be dearly missed
Sorry for y’all loss
Remember her by taking care of her Mom. She was very utmost down to earth sweet person. Beautiful lady and will be missed
I only new you from FB, not sure who linked us to be friends, but appreciate that they did. My prayers are for your family and friends to be lifted at all the times ahead. I lost my mom 30 years ago and the loss is a pain I know to well. To your kids and grands and family include her as if she is here, because her essence is within you, Keep her traditions. Remember and speak her name, don’t hold your grief within, grief is love with no where to go. At times when your heart is overflowing with grief let the love out with a call to another, a hug, a smile, scream into a pillow and yes, tears. I won’t tell you it will ever get easier, you will learn to cope with it and carry on because it is what she would want you to do, it won’t be easy but may the Lord lessen the burden for you all. Rest in peace Regina.
Fly high beautiful angel You will be sorely missed I hope you have found Nannie up there , she sure loved you ! So long until we meet again RIP
In the late 70’s this beautiful lady became a part of my life and has been a part of my life all these years. Today her beauty lights up Heaven with that crazy laugh she had. RIP Gina and prayers for her children and family.
My deepest sympathy to Eddie, Sissy, Jeff and all the family. May God be with you all through your loss. You are in my prayers. Rest in peace Gina.
I borrowed this from an obit. this week. GODS GARDEN God looked around his garden and he found an empty place. And then he looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered Peace be thine. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. Love, Pam
I will miss you Gina. Love you.
To Regina’s loved ones and friends My deepest sympathy. We will never get used to losing our loved ones in death because as Ecclesiastes 311 says, we were created with everlasting life in view. But may you find comfort in knowing that Almighty God has promised that soon he will swallow up death forever along with the pain that it brings. (Isaiah 258) God has also promised that he will return Regina to you as it says at John 528,29. You can also learn ore about what happens when a loved one dies at JW.org. My most sincere condolences during these difficult days. CindiFlorida
