Renee was such a light for St. John's, and her friendship and counsel was always dear to me in the time I was called to serve there. My heart is with the whole Creighton family in remembering and celebrating this wonderful woman.

Renee´ was a steady symphony goer accompanied by a grandson. We saw her at every concert. We saw her at10:30 Mass and she was a terrific reader of the Sunday readings and also during Triduum. She was an active and well spoken woman. There was everything to love about Renee´. May she rest in peace.

I am so sad to hear of your mom´s death. I knew her from Creighton and ministry circles. She was always so life-filled and full of energy! Her life touched so many. May wonderful memories her comfort all of you now and in the days to come. I will hold you in my heart.
