John, I was so sorry to learn of Rena's passing. Although I didn't know her extremely well, I do remember that she lived across from my sister Barbara (in Newberry Towne) years ago. She was always so friendly. I know you will miss her but one day will see her again. Please express my condolences to the family from myself, and Brian Baldwin. In fact, he was the one who told me of her passing. God Bless and may you have wonderful memories of Rena.

Judy, Bo, Debbie and Johnny Ray. I am so blessed to have been a part of this family. Rena is my Aunt and after the death of my mother, her sister (Sue) she took on the responsibility of being a mother figure in my life and a grandmother to my girls. My heart aches so badly and I will always miss her and our daily phone calls but I know one day I will see her and mom again. We love you Granny!
Love You Always,
Connie, Katie and Karie.
