Renee was a wonderful, strong, intelligent, kind person. Although my time with her was relatively short, the impressions she left on me resonate daily. Her composure and strength during some of the most difficult times was nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed her wit and candor along with that mischievous smile. But above all that, Renee had the biggest heart around. My deepest sympathies go out to her family, all two legged ones and four legged ones. With all the wonderful memories of her, they are sure to put a smile on my face every time I think of her. You will be missed Renee…..but NEVER forgotten.

Avery, Halley, David and family,
Sending our love and support from afar. R was a special friend and even though we didn't get to see much of her the past years, she would send an email to touch base from time to time to keep our connection alive. Her wit, candor and dedication to work and family will never be forgotten. Her friendship and love everlasting.
She lives on in all of us. Thoughts of comfort and strength to you all.
Love
Therese and Gilles Desorbay

I just want to thank everyone who has taken the time to visit this page. The support that has been given to my family means more to us than anyone could imagine. This is by far the most devastating thing that has ever happened to us. Today was a rough day for me, but I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. It feels so strange that I can't pick up the phone and call or text my Mom to tell her how much I love her. Sometimes it feels like this is just a bad dream. I hope everyone is doing well today, and again, a HUGE thank you to everyone that has showed us love and support. <3 <3
