The final chapter has come to a close for Renee, as
she has passed away today at the age of "29 and holding." Her true
age may always remain a mystery since she has been "29 and holding"
for as long as anyone can remember. She will go down in history as the most
fantastic wife ever and a mother who adored her children more than any mother
who came before or since. Her grandchildren adored her and the treats that she
would always have freshly baked whenever they visited, and she loved watching
them eat loads of sugary sweets before sending them home with their parents. She
could clean a house in a single day and fold a fitted sheet like nobody's business.
Renee loved to learn new things and was constantly looking for the next
exciting challenge to conquer. She was a collector of wine and tattoos, which
always made for great conversations.
Though not a fan of Mondays, she saw the good in
each day and we hope that others will start to do the same in her honor. To
help get you started, statistically speaking there will be over 5,000 weddings,
10,000 childbirths, and 42 million hugs today in the United States and that is
a pretty amazing day.
She is survived by her husband and child(ren) who
will miss her terribly and love her forever. She was preceded in death by a
number of loved ones, and will be greatly missed by those she leaves behind.
Highly spiritual, but not deeply religious, a life celebration will be held at
a local park where we will plant a tree and flower garden in her honor.
The best kind of people in the world are the ones
who can make you see the best in yourself, make you see sun where you once only
saw rain, the people that believe so strongly in you that you start to believe
in yourself, the people who love you just for being you. Renee tried to be that
kind of person. Your challenge for today, and every day, is to be that kind of person.
