Rhenda Rey Hausen Power

I am still reeling in shock and grief, trying to take in the fact that my wonderful friend has passed from this life. To Dave, Derek, Garon, Kirsten, Weston and Karina, my love goes out to each of you at this difficult time. I loved the tenderness and sensitivity of the funeral service and hearing all of you speak. I was so grateful to be there and especially to hear Dave's rendering of "Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling", one of my favorite hymns. Your voice does not disappoint Dave.. I wish to send to your sweet family soon, some treasured Rhenda memories I have about her and our so brief time together. She was the first and the best pre-school teacher I ever hired, who volunteered endless hours- selflessly and lovingly helping me build Garfield School into the success it became. I will miss her terribly and yet cherish forever the fond memories we shared...take care all of you and know that she will never really leave you. She is dancing in the clouds right now with her beloved friends and family who have gone before and shouting out, as Derek mentioned, "I am having so much fun, so much fun."

I am so sorry for the loss of Rhenda. I worked with her at Lowell Elementary, where my children also attended. She was a lovely person, a gifted teacher, and a treasured colleague. She will be missed but her legacy will live on in the lives of the children she taught and the lives she touched.

Dear David and family, Marilyn and I are so sorry for what you are experiencing. We have fond memories; particularly "Amahl and the Night Visitors" at BYU when Rhenda was the Mother. "All that gold" is now hers. -Wally Rudolph

Officer Powers, On behalf of the NSA Police I'd like to offer my condolences on the loss of your Mother.

Dear David and family, I was so sorry to read about Rhenda's passing. She was a remarkable woman. I just wish I'd known her better. She had so much fire and spunk. I always admired her. During my time teaching at the U, I always enjoyed visiting with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Katie Hill

Dear David, I'm so sorry about the loss of your dear wife. May you be comforted at this time and in the future days, months and years, by the knowledge that you are loved and cared about by so many friends and colleagues. I certainly hope and pray for your peace and comfort at this time. Sincerely, Lenora Brown

Rhenda, always with a smile on her face and a funny story to tell. Always more interested in finding out how you were doing rather than talk about herself. She loved animals and especially horses and I am forever grateful that we shared that connection. We spent so many years riding together with Elmer and Diana making many fun memories. She's running through the pastures of heaven now, on Jubilee of course! She will be greatly missed here on earth! My love goes out to you Dave, and all of her dear family whom she treasured above all else. May her feisty, loving spirit bring you comfort.

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss?our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Aunt Rhenda will always be in our hearts and memories. "What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us."
