In Memory of Rena Walsh
Rena Walsh passed away peacefully on November 26, two days shy of her 104th birthday.
Rena was a woman with a quick wit, a warm heart and a lot of charm. She enjoyed travelling and embracing new experiences.
Animals knew they had a friend in Rena, she loved them all. Rena will be greatly missed by all her friends and family.
