My Mom, Gwen Lovell, enjoyed spending time with cousin, Renee, whenever we would come to Alabama for a visit in between our moves overseas, while Dad was in the Air Force. I know Mom & Renee have been reunited and are having wonderful conversations talking about "old times". The last time I was able to talk to Renee on the phone, she told me she was ready to go "home". I know where she is, and I will see her again. I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry I can't be there!

Allen Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you face the days ahead without Ms. Renee. We have wonderful memories of Ms. Renee and Mr. Bonard too at the Paint Rock Seventh Day Baptist Church. They both hold a special place in our hearts. What a blessing to have been able to worship with them for many years. We loved them! May The Lord richly bless you all with peace and strength. With our deepest sympathy.

To Renee's Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I simply wish to offer my condolence. Renee was a remarkable woman and a good influence on all of us who were fortunate to know her. Several weeks ago I had my last conservation with her and she assured me she was prepared and joyfully awaiting joining all of our departed loved ones. It was a blessing to converse with such a sincere and wise soul.
