I shall not forget the shrill in my voice that sad evening, when Aunty Good finally got through to me on the phone. Aunty, what did you say, I can't understand what you are saying. I heard her say, "Regina left us". Where did she go I asked? "Regina is gone", she replied. Was she in an accident? "No" she said. How? When? I screamed. "She died on Wednesday". It can't be true, please tell me this is a joke, I screamed.
Reggie, my sweet and caring Reggie, you were a kind, loving and appreciative woman, who would give the only cloak on your back to anybody in need of it. Your love for others had no bounds. You served God with all your heart and might. When I visited a few weeks ago, you were so full of life. You were very happy and hopeful for a very bright future with your beloved family. You were excited to be back home, only little did we know that you had come back to answer our Maker’s call.
It is difficult to believe that you are gone. But as a Christian, I am gradually coming in terms with your departure, from this sinful world. You lived a fulfilled life. You have left your footprints in the sands of time. You will be missed. Sleep on my sweet Reggie. May God's Holy Angels guide you home to rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord, our maker. Amen.
