Not sure what to say?

We are so sorry to hear about Renee’s valiant loss with her battle with cancer. When I think of Renee I am reminded of her energy, enthusiasm, and smile. It brings back all of the wonderful memories including all the time spent together with our families and snowmobiling to name a few.
Our deepest sympathies to Dave and Steve.

Jerry and I extend our sincerest sympathies to the Walters/Strauss
Families for the loss of Renae. Both of us knew and were friends with her at Whitehall High School and in Fullerton, PA.

We will miss you. Hopefully we will all be together again someday riding our tandem bikes.

Dave - I cannot express our sadness with the loss of Renee, your life partner. We met you two thru tandem biking but our friendship transpired to something much deeper than simply biking friends. As she took on this battle with cancer, she was an amazing and gracious warrior all the way thru this difficult battle. She amazed us with her tenacity in the battle. It goes without saying that Renee did not battle this disease alone. You were truly her life partner, supporting her all the way...

Renee’ was such a warm and caring person and the founder of our local Red Hat group. She was affectionately called our “Grand Pooh Bah,” which made her laugh as grandeur was not her goal!

She had an aura of calm and sensibility about her that attracted people in and made them want to stay. In a group of 18 Red Hats, she would inquire of each and made sure that all were...

We are sincerely sorry to hear of Renee' passing. I am sure this will leave a deep void in your life that will be impossible to fill, but at least you have countless wonderful memories of your lives together. Knowing you both since high school, we realize the true love you shared for each other and family. Over the years when speaking of you, we often referred of you as "Ozzie and Harriet" the true all-american family. Please accept our sympathies for your loss and may Renee rest in peace....

We are deeply sorry to hear about Renee' passing away. Working at DKD she often talked to Craig and her niece Kim about the family (especially her grandchildren), the bicycle trips she and Dave took and being part of The Red Hats. He enjoyed listening to her and often shared her stories with me. I would sometimes get a chance to talk to her when I would stop by to visit or pick up Craig. I especially enjoyed talking to her at the Christmas dinners. I respected her opinion and enjoyed her...
