I remember these two when they came into my car dealership to purchase their cars. I remember them distinctly because of their unusual level of kindness. We don’t see that often in the car business. People who are so kind, so sweet and so generous, though I didn’t know them personally, I am so sorry for her family’s immense loss. Words cannot describe how sorry I am for your family.
Heaven has gained another 3 angels.

Regina,
You called me Gregger! we rode in the van together for years. Whatever! was your phrase! You were always so kind and funny. I don’t think you ever complained once. When you made us wait for you, you would bring us uncrustables.
We will miss you!
Sweet Regina!

To Raymond and William, all the Lee family, and all our friends who knew Regina.
I met Regina in our vanpool as we commuted to and from Costco Travel. I always enjoyed her and remember her fondly as a very kind soul.
Regina was often very quiet--I thought she was a bit shy--but she would frequently come up with some very funny "one-liners" that were both cute and entertaining. Her giggle at the punchline was infectious as she delivered her comments in a quiet, soft voice. She also had a funny retort whenever anyone said anything funny to her, which was often.
She was always kind, thoughtful, and caring. I only knew her a short time, but I've known many who speak very highly of her. It was a pleasure to meet her, and an honor to get to know her a little. All Regina's vanpool friends were shocked and saddened when we learned of her passing. We remember her and speak about her nearly every day. All of us wish you the very best.
William and Raymond, I know you don't know me, but I hope you'll accept my sincerest condolences about the loss of your sisters and your mom. I can't imagine that, and I'm so saddened by that too...but I hope you will remember them all fondly with love and a smile.
Regina had many friends at Costco Travel, and we're all so very sad about losing her...way too soon. To you both, we are so sorry about your sweet sister, she was a joy to know and such a kind, loving person.
If you would like to contact me, I would like to discuss how we might be able to contribute to a charity in Regina's name.
Wishing you peace, comfort and kindness.
Pete

I did not know Regina well but we did say hello in the hallways or break room at CT. I always secretly admired her for digging out aluminum cans from the garbage cans throughout the building to ensure they got recycled properly. I wish now I had thanked her for doing that. She cared about people and our planet and the world will suffer a little bit more without her here. I send my condolences for her as well as her sister and mother <3 <3 <3

To Regina's brother Raymond and all her family,
I never met Regina, but had heard about her story via someone we know who works at Costco Travel, also close family who sent me the news article. The news about Regina, Willa, and your mother has compelled me to reach out and let you know
you have great support from even those you are not close to in the community.
My family sends our condolences and great care to you.
We are heartfelt for you.

May she and her family members Rest In Peace.
I didn’t know Regina but, I also worked for Costco .
I was with the company for 24 Years, and I am so sorry that this happened to her. I also was born the same date and year as Regina,
so it hit home with me.
I was lucky enough to retire about 4 yrs ago, and am blessed to have been absent during this horrific time for Costco Employees.
My Condolences to her brother for losing 3 family members.
It should have been handled in a much more urgent time frame.
So sad, and unnecessary.

Remembering you always, sweet Regina. The little angel that you gave to me when my husband's health was failing will forever be a reminder of your compassion, caring, and thoughtfulness of others. Your beautiful light will be missed by all who love you, for all time.

Regina was a soft spoken, thoughtful, kind, endearing, humorous and a very generous person. Always so giving and being a big sister to me. I'm fortunate to have met her for the 5+ years that I worked at CWCT.
Every time she passed by my cubicle, she'd make it a point to say hi or if I was on the phone she'd quickly wave and leave. She'll also leave little gifts whether it's cookies or candies and she'd give me hugs.
One big sister moment was I've never heard or tried bitter melon tea before so she bought the biggest package ever and gave me the whole thing. She said, "It's to help prevent diabetes and it's good for the blood." Then I knew I had to try it. 😊
May you rest in paradise my friend. You're greatly missed. ❤
To Regina's family: My deepest sympathy. May you all find peace and comfort in this time of need.

Regina, I have not known you for very long, or even very well, but a length of time was not needed for me to know what a kind and gentle soul you are. Your wonderful, rare qualities of true kindness, guilelessness, and complete lack of pretense radiated from you and were immediately, and purely, unmistakable. I know you are resting in peace in a place as beautiful as you. God bless you and your family.

While I wasn't lucky enough to know Regina as well as many of our other coworkers, I will never forget how every single time I caught her eye, she always shot me a smile. People have no idea how far a little gesture can go! What a sweet soul, she is greatly missed and will remain so x

I worked 14 years with Regina at Costco Travel. She was always so quiet, happy and humble. She would always remember everybody's birthday and those special holiday's. She will be greatly missed and was a big shock to find out she passed. RIP dear Regina! You will live forever in hearts and memories of many.

I sat next to Regina at work and it was such a gift to do so . She was the kindest, gentlest soul I have ever met. She knew when her co-workers were stressed and showed her caring by giving to others. She would give me chocolate and other goodies regularly. I will miss getting the chocolate on my keyboard when I got to work. She will be missed so much. I will always cherish her laugh which always made me smile. God Bless Regina....

Dear Regina,
I will always remember you were one of the first to welcome me to Costco Travel, in November, 2005. Always a friendly hello when we would see the other. One thing I remember is her always passing out treats to celebrate whatever the occasion. May you rest in paradise sweet angel.

I will miss you always. We sat in our two desk pod for 6 years and I was happy to be next to such a kind soul. There are so many memories... I still can't believe you're gone.
Rest in peace, sweetie

Dear Regina,
You were one of the first ladies to welcome me to the travel office back in November, 2005. I will always remember your grins, laughs, and just plain being you! Always a pleasure to see and always asking how I am. We will miss your good hearted soul.
Rest in paradise my friend!

To Regina's family I am very sorry for your loss. Regina was a rare soul as you know. In my experience of Regina she was a person who put others first before her self. She was so caring and always had something nice to say to me. Regina was so kind and a good listener, she always wanted to know how I was and what was going on in my life but shy about sharing with me about her own life.
I will miss her giggle, smile, warmth and genuine caring for others.
She was one of the few people who got away with calling me Jeffy…
When Regina would call me Jeffy I knew it came from her heart and that we were true friends... I miss you my friend!

Regina was the most generous person I've known. She was generous with her smiles, giggles, humor, caring and kindness. Regina will remain in our hearts forever. I will always smile when I think of her sweet manner and lovely personality. Thank you Regina for showing others what it means to truly and honestly love each other. I know you are in a good place and all your friends and family are sending you love.
Bless you sweet soul.

From the first day, when she said, 'I saved you a good chair', Regina and I were good friends. She was the most kind and thoughtful person I have met. I hope she knows how much she will be missed.

I first met this sweet lady in 2004. We were work friends and when you were her friend, she remembered you always. Many years later and in a different division with rarely seeing each outer, I would still find a Christmas treat or a Valentine memento waiting for me at the start of my day. She will be missed by many.

Regina,
You always knew how to take a call and make it a happy one, no matter how difficult the situation. I'm going to miss your sweet voice and happy giggles. Any time something was missed or needed to be corrected, your words of "oh, nutter butters!" and "ah, peanut butter!" always had me smiling. God bless.

Dear Regina,
Aloha from Kaua’i,
Regina Lee was a person who’d notice and compliment your new haircut first thing, bought your cookies at every bake sale, she’s always cheerful even when it’s storming outside (which was like almost all winter long in Issaquah) and she was a friend to all of us who knew her. Watch over us, Regina. I will always remember your “giggle”. 🤙🏻

Regina was a sweet and kind soul.
I had the pleasure of working with Regina at Costco Travel and every Friday she would place a Dove chocolate on my desk and wish me a happy weekend. I love dove chocolates and I would get the new holiday or special flavors and give Regina the new ones to try. It was something fun we did.
She would also collect cans from around the office and turn them in for produce at a place in Seattle. I thought that was pretty awesome. Everyday she would walk past my desk and we’d say hello or good morning as she’d walk by with her bag to collect the cans.
She was the sweetest person and I know the office misses her greatly!
Rest In Peace Regina. ❤️
Every time I eat dove chocolates I think of her 😊 a great way to keep her memory alive. ✝️ 🕊 🍫🤎🤍❤️

Regina, I will miss your sweet smile and your giggles. Our vanpool will never be the same after all these years. I will never forget your fun humor, jokes, falling asleep bobble heading and saying “Whatever” .
I’ve also had the great opportunity knowing you at Costco Travel. You would always leave me special notes and greet us with a smile.
Vanpool #1008 Greg, Laura, Jessie, Matt, Joey, Ann, Shari,Pete and I will never forget you.
I will miss you my dear sweet friend.

Regina was my very Special Friend! She was my Beautiful Friend. We worked together at Costco Travel for the Last 12 Years. She was my Pod Mate for at least 9 of those years. We got along Famously! She was shy as you know so may times I would ask about her Life. She would answer in Brief Sentences. But she would want to know Every Thing about my Life! Regina probably knew me more than anyone at work. What I will Miss Most about Regina is that Special bond between Friends, Her Generosity, Her Sweet Nature, Her Smile, Her Laugh, Her Potlucks and Mostly Her Presence. I Love you so Very Much! The World was a Better Place with you in it! I Know You are in Heaven where you Belong. Aloha for Now. P.J.
