Dear Theo, Stephanie and Helen, Please accept my deepest sympathy. I knew your mother for many years both on the golf course and more importantly in my beauty shop. She was so much fun all of the time. We even had fun in our art class at the college. She was a wonderful woman. She will be missed.
helen teddy and stephanie, sorry to hear of your loss. my thoughts and prayers are with you. love jerry hamill
Dear Theo, Stephanie,and Helen, What a shock to hear about your mom. She will always hold a special place in our hearts because she was such a #special lady to us. We will miss her very much. God Bless You All. Love James & Theresa (Weirton Daily Times Carriers)
Please accept my deepest sympathy. Your mother was a good friend to so many people, and you could always count on hearing a new joke whenever you saw Regina. In addition to all her other activities in Weirton, she was a long time active and loyal board member of the Hancock Co. TB League (Christmas Seals),which dissolved in the merger with the American Lung assn.
Theo,Stephanie and Helen, I am sorry to learn of your mother’s death. She was a wonderful woman who often times expressed her love for her daughters to me.
Helen and family, My condolences on the loss of your Mother. Former Weir High Classmate, Coralee (Rody) Powell
