April 13, 2021 at 11:23 amI was so shocked when I received the phone call about Regina’s passing. She and I worked together for many years at Sentara Leigh Hospital from 1988 until I went to Sentara Norfolk General in 1999. She was such a sweet and giving friend everyday she would give me a ride home in route too her own and I really appreciate her time and effort. John, Ebony, and Macy I will continue to hold you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending my love to you all from Phoenix, Arizona. P.S. sorry I can’t be there.
