    Dear aunt na na,
    I will always remember my long weekend sleepovers with you and the girls staying up till the sun comes up watching the stooges and haveing delicious holiday meals. This thanksgiving I was just wondering how you made the stuffing so good and moist that it even lasted for leftover turkey sandwiches, and those delectable deviled eggs.
    I love you and miss you and wish I could have came out to see you this past month, but I know you are seated with my GG Wanda and are both watching over the family and helping with our prayer intercessions. You will always be remembered, never forgotten, so in that way you will live forever in our hearts.

So many great memories going on in my head right now, we were pregnant at the same time, I was due 2 weeks before you and you had Kelly early. I will never forget that. A week later I had Jamie. So…… so….Many more memories that I will treasure forever. Just like I will Treasure You Forever. I know you been fighting for a long time and I know that you are in no more pain and I know that you belong to God, but it still hurts my heart that you are not here with those grandbabies, your kids, & the rest of us who loved you dearly. You were there life. I can say Heaven sure gained an Angle when they got you. Watch over all of us. I just love you so much. Until we meet again my beautiful sister you will never be forgotten.

    There will never be another like her!! I will always remember her smile and her kind spirit. She didn’t go alone, lots of angels were right there with her on her journey. I can just imagine the reunion she is having. We prayed so hard for healing for our Renee and although we may not like God’s method of healing her, we can rest assured….SHE IS HEALED. No more pain or sorrow or tears for her, just eternal joy as she watches over those she loved. This world will never be the same, but Heaven is a brighter place with her there. I know Grandma Wanda has wrapped her arms around her baby girl once again. Rest in peace sweet Renee and know that we who loved you will never forget you. Some glad morning we will all be together again!! WE LOVE YOU RENEE!!! Our prayer now is for strength, comfort and peace that passes all understanding for her children, grandchildren and loved ones.

    Shannon, Stacey, Kelly and to the rest of your family and friends you are in my prayers. Your mother is a beautiful person inside and out and was such a fighter. She created an amazing bond between all 3 of you like no other that she will always be with you.

    My name is Michele. I’m Renee’s nephew Walters fiance. I only had the pleasure of meeting Renee a few times but she was always so nice and smiling. You could tell she had a sweet and gentle soul. I’m so sorry for all her family and friends for their loss. You’re in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. May God comfort you during this time.

    Renee, you were one of the most caring and loving people that I had the pleasure of knowing. When I came to the house as a teenager, to visit Shannon, you were always smiling and happy. You always made me feel welcome even when you weren’t feeling good. When I would see you as an adult you would always ask how I was doing and ask about my son. You will be missed by so many, but most of all by the loves of your life, your girls and grandchildren. I will miss your smile most of all. Shannon, Stacy, and Kelly My heart breaks for you. Your mom was one of a kind and you all were so blessed to have her! I feel blessed that I got to share just a little part of her with you all. She loved all of you so much!!! I love you all! Continue taking care of each other and keep holding each other up when needed. As always if you need anything don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

    Kelly, Shannon, Stacey and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a kind, loving, thoughtful woman. With all of her health problems and pain she continually showed concern for others. She loved her family and friends with all of her heart. She loved people.
    If I can be of help with anything please let me know. Your mom has been in our prayers at Immaculate Heart of Mary since we first met. We will be mentioning her nam at all of the Masses this weekend and continue to lift her in our prayers.
    Heaven has a new angel. I know that she is with Jesus. May she Rest In Peace.
