My beautiful sister Renee, It has been over 60 days now since you went to be with our Lord & Savior. I'm so often reminded of you and truly miss you.  Each day, I continue to seek signs from you from above and quickly, I am answered with great memories that brings me joy, laughter, smiles and tears. You are truly a wonderful spirit that I will continue to seek, for it is what gets me through the toughest days. Your bestest brother in the whole world.

Cousin Renee,

We will never forget your beautiful smile and your golden hair. We are going to miss you so much. What a trooper you  were.  What a great example you set for all of us and how you dealt so positively with your devastating illness. Your strength and determination was amazing. You were there for your precious daughter to receive her award and for her graduation. We will never forget you with your beautiful smile and positive attitude. We love you, Renee.

I struggle for the words to describe how I feel about letting go of the sweetest cousin I know.  From the moment we met ,you lit up our hearts.  Even as you struggled to live, you managed to give us that signature smile,  letting us know how much you loved us.  Our family  gatherings will always have a void without you, however , when it comes to the Steeler games , I know you will be with us, not a doubt in my mind.  Until we see each other again in paradise, I will cherish how much fun we had and what you taught me about living.,,,

Renee, you will be remembered for your smile, good nature, calm demeanor, patience, laughter, and the unconditional love you gave and shared with your beautiful daughter, Lauren. Your light and kindness remains within her, and within us all here, in our hearts and memories of you.
Peace be with you.

Renee left this world loved and will be loved forever. " A mother's hug lasts long after she lets go."

You were a true and kind friend. You are missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you. I am proud to be able to call you my friend. My thoughts go out to all of your family. Rest In Peace Renee!!!

Our loss of Rene here on earth is our God in heaven gain. The love & strength that was shown doing her illness was a great testimony.  
God's Peace to all.
Love G & G

love to all her family and to sweet Lauren. God"s Blessing

Renee, 
God has made us a family and I was always so proud to call you my cousin. 
Your welcoming kiss and hello I will never forget and I believe you have blessing God with your special greeting.

 weeping endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. When we all get heaven what a glorious day that will be. When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory

Momma Matthews, 

You are such a wonderful woman that has touched my life in so many ways possible. I am glad that you are no longer in pain. You will always be in everyone's hearts.

Love for ever.

Renee was a sweet girl so pretty she never really knew how special she actually was.  You will be missed. Robin Wininger Lauck

Know that you are all in my heart and thoughts. I hope all your memories bring warmth and comfort in the days ahead.
I live in Lake Worth, FL and do the obituaries for The Palm Beach Post. I received a call from my sister, who lives in Lima, asking if I knew Renee. I can't believe that in our many conversations we left out our “Buckeye” history. My hometown is Cridersville and my family is still in the area.

Oh I am crushed for all of you. I sang at her wedding and enjoyed many fun evenings with her..
This is one of those punches in the gut that you never recover from.. and definitely one of life's unfairest blows. Godspeed Renee. You were a bright light here, and are now a beautiful shining star in the heavens.

Rest In Peace, Renee. Praying for your family and friends. ??

The family is in my heart and prayers.  May she be an angel that continues to watch over her daughter, family and friends while taking her place in the loving arms of God. I was so very blessed to have known this beautiful lady!

my heart hurts. I loved this girl so much. She knew more about me than my own family sometimes. My love to Lauren, Geri, Rick and Craig.You were and always will be in my heart, and my thoughts.Good bye bestie, till we meet again.
