Dear Jim, Alec, and Eric, My sincerest sympathies on your tragic loss. It was wonderful to visit with you all and see all the great photos of Gina Sue and the family. Gina was a force of nature and a delight as a friend. Who will kick my butt now?

To Jim, Alec, Erik, family and friends, It was at one of those famous post-Christmas celebrations at Gus's where I first met Gina. She was standing in the dining room with Bridget and Nikki - all of them talking- at the same time. Imagine that! At first, I thought they were all talking about different topics, but somehow, the conversations melted back some strange call-and-response that only the Klein girls can pull off. It was truly amazing. It was also a night full of chili, and family and warmth. I smile when I think of Gina and that night, as a wonderful wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I hope you all can, too. Thanks for keeping the blog, Bridget. It was very moving for you to share such intimate moments. And a special shout out to Fred. I know Gina was glad to have you with her. I am happy to have been part of so many celebrations.Peace and LoveAve and Geri

To all the Klein family, but especially to Jim and the boys - I was sorry to hear of Gina's death. I know you've been through a lot in recent years with her illness. My prayers are with you all.

In loving memory of Gina: It seems like only yesterday to me that Gina, Bridget, and I spent so many summer nights together working for the Louisville Redbirds. From Sections 109 through 112, we laughed and cheered. In fact, if it wasn't for Gina and Bridget, I would never have had the opportunity to have so much fun. I have thought and prayed for Gina often through the years, and I know now that she is watching over the ones she loved from a special place in Heaven. I hope that you all find comfort in remembering the joy you feel from knowing and loving someone as special as Gina. May God bless you in your time of sorrow.

Dear Jim, Alec, Erik and family, I have often thought of the times we've spent together. It surprises me that Regina and I only taught together for 1 year at St. Joe's. The friendships made there lasted longer and the times were so fun. As I was talking to Dianne, it dawned on me how that time in my life and the people I shared it with are so vivid in my mind. It makes me laugh to think of the 1st time Regina met Rich. You had a halloween party. I was a rabbit and Rich was a carrot. He was painted orange. The next time Regina saw him, she was truly surprised. She said she always pictured him orange. She kept us going back then and someone said she's still keeping us going because we've talked to people we haven't talked to in ages. The one thing I knew was that it didn't matter how long it had been between visits. We would pick up right where we'd left off, just like it was yesterday. Although I'll miss her terribly, I choose to think that we'll pick up again right where we left off...someday.Love to you Jim.Rich, Julie, Gracie and Abbie Hahler

The news about Gina's passing both shocked and saddened me. We unfortunately lost touch over the years, but I have many fond memories from our summer "engineering for high schoolers" class at U of L and our years at Bellarmine. To all of Gina's loved ones: you will be held close in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Please let me know if I can be of any help at all. Gina had a lovely spirit, I'm sure now even more lovely in heaven.

Dear Jimmy, We were so profoundly sorry to hear of Regina’s passing. Although we never had the pleasure to know her it is so sad that someone so young should be taken from you and your children. I know there is little consolation at a time like this in words and prayers, but I hope you know that your loss is sincerely felt and you and your family are in our hearts. We have thought of you so many times over the years since our many trips to Keystone and ski trips with your folks. Fondly and sincerely, Joan & Bill Speckin

Always know that we will have you, Alec and Erik in our prayers to go forth without your dear wife and mother. Please don't hesitate to call anytime you need to talk to a friend. May God be with you and the boys and may Gina now rest in peace after her long battle.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am to hear about Regina's passing. She was a very special person and holds a very special place in my heart and memory. She was such a good friend. Some of my best and favorite memories are those I spent with Regina in our early days as "SAHMs". We had some good times with the kids. I will miss her deeply.
