I am so surprised and saddened to hear of Renae's passing. I believe Renae was at Washington when I started working as the social worker for the PH program. I always loved her. She always had a smile and was such a delight in our social group. You have my deepest sympathy. I am sorry I am unable to attend her service, but do know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
