When Kelly was very young, i remember that Regina was working, going to school and writing her thesis and somehow decided to sew Kelly a winter coat…a winter coat! I was amazed at her boundless energy. 
She jumped to assist me with the world of home care and nursing homes when I needed it for my Dad, and I greatly appreciated her help. She was very willing to share her knowledge and genuine in her support.

Gigi lovingly cared for Michelle during RJ’s delivery, and not long after, she and Michelle performed an assessment on baby RJ together. It was a beautiful full-circle moment, one that captured Gigi’s quiet strength, compassion and unwavering presence ❤️.

Her visits were the best part of our week.

Celebrating another milestone with Gigi, my citizenship.

Meeting Gigi (Regina) after migrating to the United States in 2014 was one of the greatest blessings of my life. From the beginning, she became my anchor, offering love and unwavering support through every moment, big and small.
She was a mother to me in every way that mattered. Her belief in me gave me strength, and her presence made life feel lighter. I can still hear her say, "Silly you" or "Silly girl," anytime I doubted myself—a gentle reminder to rise above fear.
Gigi had a rare gift for lifting others. Her warmth, faith, and radiant spirit inspired everyone around her. I remember sharing a fond moment with Bridget, another caregiver of Always There Home Care, and we both agreed with Gigi  in your corner, you could take on the world. That's who she was—strong, selfless, and full of love.
She gave so much of herself, and in doing so, changed lives, including mine, my husband Raymond's, and our children's. 
Gigi was life itself, a radiant force and a blessing to us all. Though she is no longer here, her light remains. I carry her love, her wisdom, and her strength in my heart always. 
We love you, Gigi, and you continue to live in our hearts.

Angela, Raymond, Michelle, RJ, and Alexis

Tom, Kelly and Scott, 
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was such an amazing woman. Strong-willed, opinionated, and full of spunk and life. She taught me a lot since 2008 while I designed for Always There Home Care. She was always trying to make sure that I was billing her and my clients what I was worth, and she was always giving me tips on how to grow my business and be a strong woman-owned business while still raising my kids. We had similarities because we both grew up outside of Philadelphia, Delco and Wallingford and my grandmom and great-grandmother both passed away from Alzheimer's, as did her mom. I appreciated her pep talks and her long conversations about life, and she spoke so much about her love for you all. I could see it too through all of the photos I used for your newsletters, and the stories I compiled for its publication.  I will miss her and the strength and confidence she gave me through knowing her.  

With warm Regards, 
Mary Dolan

Tom and family, I am so deeply sorry - I will miss Regina’s warmth and enthusiasm for life and the arts, and above all her belief that people mattered - Shirley L

I have many fond memories of Regina starting from when I first met her. I was in High School and Phil invited me to a weekend at the beach.  Over the years, I always enjoyed seeing her and chatting when she visited Phil and Michael in DC.  She was very smart, and had strong opinions (which I loved); I also found her to be thoughtful and easy to talk to.    She'll be missed, but her impact will not be forgotten.

Regina Katherine (Fornaci) McNamara was an amazing woman  caring and sharing her time and talent.  She served an underserved age group and inspired others to do the same.  She was part of a loving family , had a great sense of humor, kind , generous and a great leader.  It is a privilege to be part of her “family “

She will be missed and remain in our hearts !

Much love and prayers for her loving family and loved ones !

Pat and Joe Parker

Regina has and will always be one-in-a-million. Completely selfless, she championed for all those who were in a helpless state to champion for themselves. She focused on comfort,  dignity and real world help for those in need and those of us caring for them.  I will never forget her support, comfort and advice for my incredible parents as they navigated end of life before and during the pandemic.  She gave direct, helpful non-judgemental and most importantly,  caring advice. She backed it up with helpful information and non-stop follow up.  She will be missed, but the energy and joy that eminated from her mother, our Aunt Jean, and passed on through Regina lives on through her children and grandchildren.  What a life well lived, Regina!
