For as long as I’ve known Marianne Renner I’ve considered her a person who always had her act together.

I have to admit, my prayers the last couple weeks included Aurora native Brian O’Malley, who I wrote about last month as he prepared to climb Mount Everest.

Even more grateful was his mother back home in Aurora.
