Gone too soon! I just found out today (10.28.25) that Renee had transitioned to a better place, and I will dearly miss her. She was so full of bliss that her persona infected those in her orbit, making everyone better people through her teaching. I will never forget you, Renee. You were my friend and partner in the business we so love. I am dedicating Romans 8:11 to you in prayer.

I was blessed to work with Renee for just under two years. I think of her often and miss her dearly. She was an incredibly bright light, full of love and passion. I learned much from her, and I will carry her lessons with me through my life. You are loved, Renee.
