"Rena was an incredible person I was fortunate to know and work directly and indirectly with. She took impeccable care of her residents and they all loved and respected her. I personally will remember all of the fun we had when she did so much to help in my classroom. God has a special place for Rena. John E. Peterson Retired ABE-DD Teacher Muskegon Public Schools"
