About	Here are a few excerpts from Rena's obituary: "On February 17, 2026, Violetta “Rena” Fregosi entered eternal rest, surrounded by the love she so generously gave throughout her life." "Born in San Francisco on January 1, 1960, to Tony and Marie Acosta-Tamayo, Rena grew up strong, independent, and spirited. She graduated early from Aragon High School, and soon after married Kevin Fregosi, the love of her life. Though widowed far too young in 1980 while caring for their infant daughter, Rena met life’s challenges head-on—with grit, grace, and determination."
