There are no words to describe how I'm going to miss my train/ birthday buddy. I've missed us sharing family stories and laughing all the way home and almost missing our stop. Family members take joy in the fact that each of you were her light. Everytime she talked about you there was a light that only a wife, mother and grandmother could have.

Renee was an inspiration to me and my family. Her guidance in helping me start my business in 2012 is the reason I still have one. She gave me a chance, and kept me on my toes all while being a good friend. She will be missed.

Alan and family and Rayna,
We are so sorry for your loss, Renee was a special lady and we enjoyed her company. So glad we had the chance to have dinner with you both in April while you were here in Arizona. She loved being here and out of the cold Chicagoland. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Remember all the fun and good times. She was a vibrant lady and adored by many.
