I am sorry for your loss. It is difficult to deal with the loss of a loved one. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 reminds us that God is always there to comfort us in our time of need. I pray this comforts you and your family.

My heart is broken as we say good-bye to one of the best.Rena will always hold a very special place in my heart as she made me feel so welcome when I first came to work at Lummi more than 29 years ago. I loved her smile and kindness and truthfulness. I wil miss you, dear friend, but know that in the final days we will be reunited.
