Aunt Theresa, Jackie, Richie, and family, We were shocked and so very sorry to hear about Renee. You certainly have our deepest sympathies. She was so young and always full of fun and excitement. I have always known her to be concerned about others first. We wish that we had known about her illness and and passing and were home to express our condolences to you personally and to the entire family and the extended family.

Jacki, I was sorry to hear about Renee. Janice Schano called to tell me about her. She was always so much fun to work with back in the shop in Swissvale. She had a great sense of humor. RIP Renee.
