I just learned of Renta's passing and am shocked. She was greater than life, an outstanding scientist and a phenomenal cook. My thoughts are with her children, her sister Heidi and her family. A great loss.

Renta was a great colleague, a kind person with a big heart and always ready for a good joke. She made people around her feel appreciated. I knew Renta from our years working at Alnylam. I am very saddened to learn she passed away. My deepest condolences to her family and close ones. Rest in Piece my friend. We still have the pink piggie toy you gave my son 12 years ago that he loved so much and we still comment on how you will talk to him when he was at the office and waiting for me to finish work so we can go home. Thanks for babysitting :-) and for introducing me to Gingerbread Construction co strawberry shortbread muffins. The heaven has gained an angel. RIP.

I feel so sad knowing that Renta left us. She was wonderful to know during her time at Burroughs Wellcome. Always with a quick smile and laugh. I so enjoyed meals at her home and going out with the group to outdoor concerts. I had the most at work when she was there. She was unforgettable.
May she rest in peace.

My sympathy goes out to Renta´s family. I knew Renta while she was a post doc at the University of Washington. Renta had the ability to make everyone smile and make any outing more fun than possible. She was loved by everyone that knew her. Her kindness, personality and generous spirit is something I am thankful to have known. Renta will be missed, she filled the room with laughter and love of life.
