Rena M. Schoonmaker

Dear Rena- There are no words to thank you for the love and kindness you gave to Ali, Jacqui and I. You and Les embraced us into your lives and your family and that I am so grateful for. I made you a promise that I intend to keep. Our holidays, backyard picnics and parties will never be the same without you. Thank you for being the best mother-in-law anyone could ask for. I will treasure our times spent together. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. Ready or not, accepting or not, life comes to...

Rena, I love you so much! You changed my life. I have a family all because you let me in the door so many years ago. Your kindness amazes me and I strive to follow your lead in my life. I will carry you with me forever.

Kristin,
My dearest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I know this time is hard for you, but I am always here for you to talk to. You're one of my closest friends and I want you to remember that. I am just a phone call away. If you need anything just let me know.
Your family will be in my prayers.

Kristin, Les and family
We know how difficult such a loss is to endure. We are sending our love and support to all of you at this sad time. Know that we are here for you any time you need. Our shoulders are strong, ears ready and hearts open for you.
"May peace replace heartache and may warmest memories remain."
LOVE

I don't think I ever called Rena by her first name. She was always mom to me. She is a very special person and holds a very special place in my heart. She always went out of her way to know that I was ok whether it was some comforting advice or a big yummy chocolate chip cookie to tide me over until dinner time. I Love you very much and will never forget the times we were in the backyard soaking up some rays on the swing, or the times i would just pop over and you always had room for me...
