Rena Gardner

Rena you were so special to my girls Paula and
Renee, you were their big sister. We missed you when you moved to Texas. You were special to the whole family. We always said at the family reunions how we wished you were here.
Love you very much,
Your Second Aunt Miriam

You were one of my childhood inspirations & mentors, Rena. We will miss you and we know that now you are with so many of our loved ones watching over us.

Too short a life, but I know without her Jake, the past years have been hard.

Beautifull memories of a beautiful lady.

Rena was my older cousin and my sister Paula and I looked up to her as a role model. Although we did not get to see her often, we have fond memories of her in childhood especially at the annual Crouse reunions. We would pester her to take us on hikes on the trails in the woods when we had the reunions at Caledonia and Cowan's Gap and she would make time for us. Her kind gentle spirit made her easy to be with and the whole family misses her.

I am so very fond of Rena. I always remember the first time I met her and knew she was a wonderful person to know. My memories of her will always be close to my heart. God Bless her step-daughter and her loving family at this difficult time.

You will be missed by all who knew and loved you. Rest in peace.

So many memories of you today and always. I'm at a loss for words. Just know, I loved you more than anything and I'll never let go of our relationship. Thank you for loving me as your own daughter, you and Jake both. I know where you are and I know that Jake and my momma were there to welcome you to your forever home.

Until we meet again........I'll hold you in my heart.

Love, Amy
