  5. Sending prayers for the family and friends. Renee and I attended school together seem like forever. Renee was always kind, sweet and made you feel like you were part of any group even if you weren’t. I can say Renee is the real cause my husband and I meet in high school.

  7. I am so sorry for the loss of you’re sweet momma. I worked with Renee when I first started at Vanderbilt. She was one of the best friends a person could have. We enjoyed lunches at Mr Gatti’s, Los cunados and eating at centennial park and feeding the squirrels. My daughter has her middle name. We had so many good times at work and our many trips to Disney on Ice. I know you are all going to miss her, but we all know that she is now with the love of her life again. God bless you all and prayers for comfort and healing in the days to come.
