    Matt and Jason,
    I am so sorry to hear of Rena's passing. She was a force of nature, strong and independent. I got to know her well over the years and respected her intelligence and forthrightness. She was very good to my mother over the years and I always appreciated that. I know that both of you, Gabe and Reagan were the loves of her life!
