March 5, 2017 at 1:32 pmMy condolences to all of Reggie’s family, but especially to his Mother Georgetta Foster. Georgetta I used to work with Reggie at the MDOC. And I have always wanted to tell you, specifically as his Mother, that you did an amazing job raising him. He was always, and I mean always a dignified gentleman that respected women. He always held the door open for us. He never let us walk in the rain without holding an umbrella or bringing a car closer. He never spoke disparagingly in our presence. I know he stumbled and made mistakes in his journey while on earth, but we all do. He was a good man. It was a pleasure knowing him and working with him. Thank You for sharing him with us. May your heart find peace knowing he is now in the presence of his maker. May God bless you and keep you in His grace.
