Dear Pat and Family,
I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Reno. Pat, I think about you from time to time, and wanted to write or call, but I lost your address. Your friendship meant so much to me when we worked together at tne MVNU library. My heart goes out to you at the loss of the Love of your life. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Family of Dr. Reno:

I enjoyed getting to know Dr. Reno while he was at New Albany Gardens and Care Center. I worked as the evening receptionist and delivered his mail to him in the evenings. He was always so friendly and I enjoyed stopping by for a minute to deliver his mail to him and even when there was no mail, I stopped by to see how he was doing and say hello. I pray that God will give each of you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

May God Bless You!

Dear Aunt Patty & Family - Please accept my family's condolences on the death of Uncle Wayne. He is a bright and shining star in all of our hearts and minds. So glad he is at peace and in God's loving hands. One of my favorite memories is of my Mother discussing her IQ with Dr Wayne Reno. He was always so gracious and pointed out just how "intelligent" Mom was. Uncle Wayne would be giggling at Mom's self-deprecating humor - as my dignified Father, Lloyd, stood grinning in the background.
