I am very sad to hear of Renie's passing. As teenagers we spent many good times together and although we saw each other only occasionally through the years I always considered her a good friend. May she rest in peace. My deepest condolences to you, Stuart.

It's hard to imagine not having Rowe come to visit me on a Tues or Sun night. It's in the knowledge that I know she is in heaven now, and that she is with me in her beautiful spirit that I find comfort and peace. I love you Rowe...forever you are my darling friend.

Rowena was one of the first people I met when I came to HBS over twenty years ago. In those years, Rowena was a person I was always happy to see and always happy to work with. Her integrity, optimism, and kindness made a difference. She is missed in ways large and small. With deepest condolences, Cynthia Montgomery
