SAD NEWS
Rae Lind, Mike Renne’s wife, died Tuesday. I don’t know if a funeral is being planned but will let you know if I get more information.
She and Mike have both been in a nursing home for the last year or so – sharing a room, Rae for having a stroke and Mike for having an infected kidney stone for which he had surgery. He had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia and never recovered from that.
Mike is currently at the Ivy Nursing Home, (formerly Missouri River).
I will put more information out as I get it.
