Rob,
Sorry for your loss.  I always liked your mother.  You are in my thoughts.

Mickie and Rob,
Tim and I are so sorry for your loss.  Regina always made me feel a part of the family.  I'll never forget her warmth and her smile.

Aunt Regina was a vibrant and eternally youthful woman. She enjoyed every moment of life to the fullest.
I remember the last time Michael and I saw her. We were going to visit Ronald and Caroline. Dee took us in her car. When Regina found out where we were going, she said,"Oh, I thought this was going to be a ho-hum day, but it is going to be a fun day!" She was so happy and enjoyed every minute of it. This happened about 2 years ago.
My son Brenton met Regina inn 1990 when we flew to Colorado for Dawn's wedding. He fell in love with her and her daughter, Micki,and he has never forgotten either of them.  
We loved Regina very much. Her joyful attitude and her enthusiasm for life made her the best of company and the dearest of aunts. Thank you, Aunt Regina, for the joy you brought to the world. We will hold you in our hearts forever. Love, Michael and Judy Van Dress

Dear Micki, John, Justin, Rob and Lani---

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I remember Aunt Regina as always smiling, kind and a wonderful aunt. I always enjoyed talking to her at our get togethers and admired her energy and love of dancing. I'll never forget touring her old childhood home with her and my dad and all the stories she told. What a wonderful memory! I hope to see you at the funeral tomorrow. Love, Victoria, Barry, Simon, Sam and Ella

I was so sadden to hear of your loss. I just found out tonight. Aunt Regina was such a beautiful and sincere lady. She will be missed greatly. Our prayers will be with all the family during this time! Much love to you all.

To Micki and Rob,
Your mom was one of the first people to welcome my husband and I to the neighborhood when we bought our first house at 1701 Harvard. She was a dear friend to us for many years. We're so glad she touched our lives with her wonderful smile and words of wisdom.

I was so sorry to hear of dear Aunt Regina's passing. She was such a special person in my life. Always, she would come to my aid when my mom and dad would say no to my doing something, with those welcome words,"But why can't she Ronnie?"
She was just an A+ person. I will miss her wonderful way of being.
Hugs to all of you.

Miki and Rob, you mother most typifies the Van Dress spirit. Always spreading a positive influence, smiling, laughing, fully and truly enjoying the little things just as much as the big ones, ready and willing to help while expecting nothing in return, seeing all the goodness around us. We miss her already. 

Attached is a picture from a nearly lost era. It is Aunt Regina's era. Look how young and beautiful they all are. Standing from left is Dorothy Van Dress, Regina Van Dress Skelly, Lucy “Boppy” Van Dress, Eve Van Dress Auseon, Jane Van Dress and kneeling from left is Pat Van Dress Cashner, Caroline Van Dress and Dolores Van Dress Innis. 

I think some of my Aunt Regina has rubbed off on me. I sure hope so. We'll never forget you Aunt Regina. And thanks for taking care of me when I was two-years' old for a couple of weeks.  We love you.

Miki and Rob, your Mom was such a nice person to me every time I met her. Miki I think of you everytime I hear the Kinks and our night out to their concert. Many memories were made from working with you Miki at Dr. Bircher's and Dr. DeVito's. Rob I just remember you from being such a sweet guy. God Bless and my heartfelt sympathy.

 Miki & John, Rob & Lani, 

I am so sorry for your loss.  Aunt Regina was a lovely lady filled with such life and enthusiasm and she loved you all so much.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My Dearest Miki & John, Rob & Lani, 

I share with you this hour, a sweet love and deep loss but also wonderful memories. 

My most favorite memory is "the Pope-Paul "Skelley" Fishing & Camping" expedition (as Uncle Bob was wont to describe this shared history.) Lisa was a toddler at the time and my mother-in-law, Louise also participated as well as Uncle John & Aunt Jane. The fellas, minus your John who didn't fish, went to bed early and we gals, sans grandma Louise & granddaughter Lisa, stayed up into the wee hours talking and giggling and telling stories. Aunt Reggie told her Siv-Vichenz/Sal-Vichee story (phonetic "italiano"--the fantasy spelling, not "real" spelling)and this is what started all that giggling in the first place! Louise, who laid down to get Lisa to go to sleep, fell asleep herself and presently began to snore. She was famous for her snoring in the family and in her neighborhood which often grew so loud the rest of the Pope's feared it would wake the neighbors. Indeed, her snoring filled the campgrounds becoming so loud your mom made us all be quiet; she thought a bear might be invading our campsite.

My blue candles are lit today. 

Much Love,

Your family is in out thoughts and prayers, and we are warmed by our memories of Aunt Regina.

Rob and family, I wish you all my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother.  May her memory always be for a blessing and may you all be comforted.

Micki and Rob I am so sorry to learn about Aunt Regina's passing.  She was a wonderful person, who was full of life and was a joy to visit with.  She was a person who I was so proud to be able to call my Aunt.  My prayers are with you and am so sorry that she is gone.  I will aways remember her in my heart as being the best Aunt.

Micki and Rob, I am so sorry to learn of Aunt Regina's passing.  She was a beautiful, wonderful, kind person loved by many.  She will always remain in my heart.
