My deepest sympathy to the Silivos family in this time of loss. Regina preferred that I call her PRINCESS, she now reigns with her PRINCE-"Jesus" Prince Of Peace. May her soul rest comfortably in his arms. Regina's endearing smile shall be missed.

I have known Regina since she came home from the hospital (she screamed whenever my mom tried to hold her) :-) I will remember her laughter and smile always. I know she has now found true peace and joy. All the love I have shared with the "Silivos Girls" are my earliest and dearest memories-Please know I am here for all of you! I love you all, Regina will be missed.

I grew up next door to Regina, playing tennis in her backyard at an age that we could barely even hold the rackets. We used to ramp our bikes off a pile of dirt in the back yard, having to avoid the basketball standard on the tennis court as we landed, and we didn’t always manage that feat. Before the lot between our houses overgrew too much, we could use flashlights to signal each other across the vacant lot.
Regina wanted to be called Gigi. After trying it out a few times, I decided that she would still be Regina to me. Years later, I asked her if it bothered her. She said “No. Gigi just doesn’t sound right when coming from you”. And of course, she was laughing when she said it. She was always smiling and laughing about something.
My sincere, heartfelt condolences to family and friends. She was a special spirit, and these few lines only represent a few of my warm childhood memories of her.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. This is especially for Paula whom I believe remembers me most. I now live in Birmingham where I have lived for almost four years now. I am doing well and hope you all are too despite your loss.

Thalia Paula,Rena,Dena and Sophia, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Phillip and I always talked about little "GiGi" going to the counter at the "old" Skopelos and asking for a piece of candy:) Sweet memories. May she rest in peace with her Daddy. I love all of you, Mary Lemonis
