Our "Very Special Angels” Gone But Never Forgotten...

 Michael A. Rentrope As we know Angels do exist and walk amongst us everyday. Our family has been very fortunate to have had a very special Angel be a part of helping us formulate this vision, my father, Michael A. Rentrope. In loving memory we would love to thank our devoted father, husband, friend and Papa for being such a wonderful inspiration and support. You will forever be missed. We love you Papa. 

 Anita  E. Rentrope Our family was blessed enough to not have just one beautiful Angel in our mist but two, my mother Anita served to be an amazing village supporter for many years always offering a kind word or loving smile, helping to handout resource information or watching the children for village parents during meetings and outings, and always willing to take care of your grandchildren whenever we needed a break.  In loving memory we would love to thank our devoted mother, wife, friend and Nana to so many for giving of yourself so freely and for teaching us what unconditional love and support looks like.   We love you Nana

 Steven A.DeBatt "Stevie" as he was fondly called was a delightful young-man that we had the pleasure of getting to know through his participation in our Angels Bridging Gaps support group activities.  In particular Stevie loved to do horseback riding and family bowling with us.  He was always full of smiles and kind words - he was the informal team captain who kept us moving forward.  His voice and delightful spirit will forever be imprinted in my heart saying "Never give up - let's go - you can do it".  Stevie was an inspiration to all and will never be forgotten.  

 Teresa Barrett in life there are people that give so freely and care so deeply for everyone that they meet, and we were all blessed for knowing them. She served as a job coach to a number of our special needs young adults and she had a way of connecting with them no matter how challenging. She made them feel special and capable of accomplishing anything in a world that doesn't always see their worth. To our very special Angel Teresa, thank you for all of your support and friendship over the years, know that all of your years of dedication will live on through those that you touched.
