Words can't describe how deeply we loved Regina, but suffice it to say that she was the best sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend in the whole world. We miss her deeply and know that we will be with her in heaven some day! She is free from cancer and suffering and is with Jesus and Pauline.

I remember how my mother just fell in love with Regina when my cousin Paul brought her to our home town to meet the family after they were married.  She had a beautiful smile and the sweetest personality.  It is a great loss but she will always be remembered in our hearts.  I will keep Catherine, Natasha and their families in my prayers.

Ganny was a very joyful and happy person. She was always kind and always there for us. She always had time for family. She would take us places and play with us all the time. She was one of the best people I've ever known and ever will know.  I know we will have some hard times now that she's gone. But I made her a promise before she left, I told her that we would all be alright if she went because we still had each other. And it was OK for her to go because she wanted to move on. She's not really gone though. Not completely. She will always be in our hearts. Now she watches over his as an angel from the green fields and crystal waters of heaven's gardens. As promised we will be alright and we will move on, but we will never forget. I love you Ganny with all my heart and I will always miss you. But I will cherish the time we had together.

Ganny was a very very joyful and happy person. She would never yell at us or anything like that. She took us places and played with us all the time. She was one of the most kind people I have ever meet. I will always remember her. And I know its going to be hard to let go, but before she passed I promises her that we would all be alright... that she could let go. And then shortly after that she passed on. And like I promised we will all be alright. We will move on, but we will never forget. And now she watches over us in the green fields and crystal waters of heaven's gardens. As an Angel. I love you always Ganny. I'll never forget.

Regina, the moment we met I knew we were going to be life long friends, that was 31 years ago. Our families have had lots of joy together over these years and we have held each other up during the rough times. I will forever miss you, your laughter, your determination and strength to persevere no matter the odds stacked against you, I will always cherish our time and am forever grateful our paths crossed in one of your most dire times of your life.
To Otto , Catherine, Natasha and all of Regina's family please accept our deepest sympathy , knowing she fought long and hard for all of you right up to the end , but she no longer is in pain or suffers she is with all the Angels and is transformed to her former beautiful self she was when she was in her prime. 
God Bless all of you and all her family near and far.
May she rest in peace forever more.
Ada

Regina was always a joy to be with, she embraced life to the fullest, a loving Mother and Wife.  She loved to laugh and have a good time, full of energy and exuberance.  She even made the trajedy of hurricane Ike into an amazing seven day picnic festival and the best time we ever had. Her memory will live with us forever.  Thank you Regina for all your love and kindness.  Bruce and Bettye Sinner Conroe, Texas
