Life can be long or short. Those, who lived everyday with meaning and spirit, had experienced a life of all the beautify of this world.
May your angel live in peace!

I never knew you little Regina but your mommy shared pieces of your world with us. I have read every update and watched this journey unfold. You were a brave little girl with a wonderful family. We will keep an eye on your mommy and try to keep her smiling.
I will miss you…
With much love ~ Tiffani

Tan family, I really am at a loss for words. I am so saddened and sorry, and want you to know that our family is thinking of you. Thinking of Regina puts a smile on my face. I just picture all her princess outfits, and the way she was a free spirit. I will also always remember the pride she took in her art work. She was quite the artist, and loved to share stories about what she drew. Whenever I tested her on her sight words, it seemed we ran out of time due to her amazing stories. Great imagination!!

My thoughts and prayers are truly with you and your family. I was touched by Regina’s story on your memorial.
I have long experienced the challenges and pain, the laughter and brightness of the lives of those facing life-threatening events, and amazed at the bravery exhibited by them, and the support given them by family and friends.

Need armsad, kellest äkki jäime ilma,
on tegelikult alles – meie sees.
Nad on nii ligi, et ei torka silma
nii, nagu valgus tolmukübemes…
