I worked with Rena at Vandenberg Real Estate. She was a sweet lady and I enjoyed knowing her and working with her. Patricia Nieboer I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your Mom and Grandma. She was a wonderful woman and a good friend. When I started in real estate 17 1/2 years ago, she taught me the ropes. She was one fine realtor with high integrity and very honest. She would let people know exactly what the truth was. I will really miss her. Toni Jacobs Our thoughts and prayers are with the Perrin family . Rena and Art were special people! Fond memories remain. God cares and so do we! Love, LeRoy and Hope Stratton I started work at Vandenberg's after Rena had left so I never really knew her. I did hear lots of good things about her and people loved her very much. I am sorry for your loss. Fred Hawkey
