I knew Renate back in middle and high school. We lost touch after that. We spent many weekends riding our bikes from Morningside all the way to the beach and back stopping at my grandmother's for a drink. We loved walking the beach. She had the most infectious grin! Her video below shows that in every picture. I regret not staying in touch and never knew she was back in Clearwater. I am now in SC and have traveled to the Highlands many times. Rest in peace my friend. Fondly, Karen Rich (Shaw)
So many memories. Especially our many adventures to the mountains of NC. She loved to travel as everyone knew...one Christmas Eve we headed for Paris, spending a week and returning on New Years Eve. I will miss my dear friend and always remember our time together. RIP
Lovely one!
We were sorry to hear about Renate's passing. We were neighbors of hers in Highlands, but we haven't seen her in several years. I always knew she was here when I saw her little white dogs on her deck. Blessings, Jeannie and Tucker Chambers
I am so sorry to hear about Renata. We were neighbors in Highlands NC for close to 30 years. She was full of so many adventures and loved to learn about so many things. She will be missed by many. Rest In Peace
She will be greatly missed by many, and will continue to live on through others. She was such a special lady, and so important to me.
Renata and I have been close friends for many years at least 25 we had some beautiful trips together to Italy to Greece to the North Carolina mountains to the Biltmore and to the beach here locally and we shared many memories she's one of my closest friends... I love her dearly I'm so happy that I got to be the person who brought her into my home for three weeks after her first surgery and take care of her and was also able to get her the best Medicare coverage and health insurance to take care of her needs. I have many awesome memories of card games and a great close friendship that I will keep for the rest of my life I have been able to witness Renata's deep Christianity and know that I will see her again in heaven I was too sick to visit her in the last 3 weeks of her life and for that I regret very much.... love, rest in peace, Renata, we will see you on the other side....my dear. Mary Martin.
Heartfelt sympathy to the family of Renate. We were middle and high school friends and had much laughter together. Renate's smile and genuine care for others will be remembered. Rest in peace, dear Renate.
One of my great regrets is that I did not stay in touch with Renate these past many years but, in our college years, we were the very best of friends. I so admired her spirit and drive and we had some of the best times and created together some of the best memories of my life. We packed our camping gear into the tiny trunk of my '73 Civic and set out across this country from Florida to California- camping in some of the most remote and beautiful spots imaginable. There was no adventure for which Renate was not game. I'm finding it extremely hard to believe that her bright light no longer shines.
My most sincere condolences to Russ, Gig, and Frank. Wishing we had all stayed in touch. It was clear to me during our time together how much Renate loved you all and I hope that you all remained close throughout her life.
