Reggie was my friend and neighbor growing up in LaGrange. I can clearly see her great smile and hear her wonderful laugh. All the neighborhood families were represented in our famous Madison Avenue street baseball games that were played everyday in the Summer. There was never any doubt about who the best player and athlete was...Reggie Ruled! She will be missed but also remembered. God bless her and all her family.
