I opened the paper and saw that God took another angel. Gena was a beautiful, holy, giving woman that I had the pleasure of knowing at Harborhill Place as her Activities Director, and now I have been with Horizon Bay Senior Communities for four years and often asked Nancy at Sakonnet how Gena was. She always had a smile on her face, and her warmth always lit up a room. I am so sorry for your loss. You were blessed to have such a special mother througout your lives. I remember when we took the bus to your house in Warwick and how proud she was that you were renovating it at the time.
