We were blessed to have known Regina and her family for almost 5 years now. My daughter Kate and Regina started their school memories together in Kindergarten..There were 5 “Gal Pals” as we called them , and Regina was right there with them with a smile on her face..
She was a fighter, just like her mom. Courageous, strong, and a true Princess.
Rest in Peace sweet Regina, no more suffering now.

This message is for Nick Tan, Regina’s father. You have given all the love a father has to Regina, your daughter of a full life that would enjoy. By doing so, you became an example that all of us shall emulate in trial times.
Best wishes.

I never got to meet this little princess, though, I would have loved to. Through Diana’s blogs, Facebook updates, and online photos, I started to feel as if I knew Regina in person. Amazing, what a little girl with such wonderful personality can do to strangers!
She will be missed all over the world, especially in China, Estonia and USA.
I will keep Saare-Tan family in my prayers.
