This is a hard blog to write.
My good friend, Renee Scherck-Meyer, aka Northshore Nancy, passed away on February 13. She was 61, and had metastatic breast cancer.
Renee and husband Mark, aka Handyman Hank, started swimming with the Kru in 2015.
Renee had a big, fun, loud, personality. She used profanity skillfully and with delight.
She was extremely knowledgeable and extremely angry about our current political situation.
She lifted heavy weights at the Top Line gym, and danced her heart out with the Bucks Grand Dancers. She coached aqua-bootcamp for Shorewood Recreation.
She raised two sons into productive adulthood.
She and Mark rode in the elite tandem division of the Riverwest 24, some years riding with competitive bad-assery and other years with relaxed bonhomie. They also rampaged with the Santas, tandem-style.
It seems to me that friendship was one of Renee's super powers. I am honored to have been included in that magic tribe, and sad that it ended all too soon.
Mark invites you to celebrate Renee's life on April 26th:
