The Hapkido Community Mourns
I was told today, by Master Harold Whalen, that Master Renee West has passed. I can't imagine the heartfelt grief that her family must feel. She will be missed by many. I hope that we will all take the time to remember and appreciate those who are close to us. My sincerest condolences to the West family.
Sincerely,
Richard Hackworth
