I will always hold Reggie dear to my heart. Who could deny her many talents, the biggest being her ability to make people laugh. Everyone loved being around Reggie, I cannot picture her without a smile on her face. We had many good times together, taking art classes for a few years where she excelled in whatever we worked on, working on a movie together where she was a director and being a part of an art group where when we met we spent more time laughing than painting.

I will miss my dear friend.

My love and sympathy to Jay, Kelly, Lynn and her precious grandchildren.

I did not know Regina personally, but having known her daughter Lynn these past few years I know she was very proud of her children and grandchildren. The outstanding woman and friend Lynn is shows the positive influences from her mother. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. God bless- Sharon Morrisette

My sympathies to all of you. I remember Mom Sikma as a kind hearted, fun person who was always there for her girls.

I also remember all of her great artwork and riding in the DeLorean with Kelly and I packed in the passenger seat as she picked us up from school. I spent many a junior high day over at the Sikma house and hope all of the Sikma's find peace soon.

Anytime a loved one leaves us, it is too soon. I hope the memories comfort you in this time. Prayers to all of you.
