I grew up down the street from the Rendlers and spent countless afternoons after school, Shabbat dinners, and weekends at their house. As one of Nikis friends I was always treated like a daughter by Bev. She not only wanted the best for us, but she expected the best from us. Fiercely loving and protective she was our biggest cheerleader during our successes and always offered strong and constructive advice when we went astray. Both her strong-willed spirit and her nurturing heart made an impact on anyone that was fortunate enough to love her and be loved by her. It breaks my heart to know she is gone, but I know she will continue to look down over her pack and always protect them.
