Rena my dear dear friend! Getting to know you this year has been an
honor and a pleasure just to be in your company,
Not being from Europe, living in the northeastern part of the "new world"
begs me to get closer and closer to you. Why? because you are
so bright, brave, and strong.
You manage to place a value on life that no one could growing up the
way you did.
May you remain aware of our Jewish G-d's purpose on this land
and continue to influence other Jews who like me have and will have
the blessings of getting to know you and the millions of others who
are an honor to know.
with total awareness of life as a Jew.
Verna Black-Gartner
