  Hi Rena and sister. I am so glad to see this article in the paper. Glad to see that you are doing more advertising. I am…of course a huge Jim Cuddy fan and have tried to research articles on Rena. I’m so happy for you girls as it looks like you have a great spa. All the best to you. I think you should do a live interview.

  Take care
