Cathy, Tom, Shavonne and Sara - At a time like this, words are so inadequate, but may this expression of sympathy somehow help to comfort you. I believe that your beautiful memories of Rena/your Mom will sustain you during this time of sorrow. What a gift she was to your family and to all that knew her. She taught everyone who crossed her path the importance of compassion and caring for your family, your friends and your community. Please be consoled knowing a woman with such a beautiful heart goes straight to Heaven. May you find strength in remembering the way she made you smile and may God hold all of you in the palm of His hand. 
You are all in our thoughts and prayers!
