Renita and many other friends from grade school until high school shared many precious memories. I remember hanging out on Pennsylvania Avenue at Renita´s home; that when Barbara her Mom was living. The last time I saw her was at the Sentators for Life park gathering at Baby Park in the Harbor. We always had tons of fun together! Rest easy Renita.
