We have been out of touch for so long. But out of site out of mind did not apply for me. I often thought of Renee, wondering where was she and what was she doing. I was heart broken to learn that my cousin has passed away. I just happen to google her name and her a picture of her popped up and I realized it was an obituary. My heart and prayers go out to you family.

We should treasure the memories we each have of Renee as we accept her absence from this earth. As a childhood friend she was a cute and saucy young lady. She will be remembered as a shining light who enjoyed life.
Fondly,
Janice
