In memory of loved ones lost to Primary Immunodeficiency
In memory of Karen Heese, valued PiNSA Board member. Wife to Kevin Allan, mother to Francis and Sophie and a much loved friend to so many of us in PiNSA.
Seated here with Professor Monika Esser and Professor Andre van Niekerk at a Board meeting in 2012.
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Renita Coertzen, a cherished member of our board, who lost her courageous battle with PID.
Renita was a dedicated and passionate individual whose commitment and contributions greatly impacted PiNSA. She provided unwavering support to countless PiNSA members, and her loss will be mourned throughout our community. Renita’s insight, and steadfast dedication to helping others were invaluable, and she will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with her.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends.
In honour of Renita’s memory, we will continue to uphold the values and principles she stood for, ensuring that her legacy lives on.
With love from the PiNSA Board 2024
