I first met Renee back around 1985 in New Hampshire. She was a very special person, and I'm fortunate to have known her. May her memory be a blessing.

I met Renee when I was 5 years old. My fondest memory of Renee was that even as a young child and as I grew into adolescents, Renee had a way of connecting, communicating and relating with me and my brothers....that demonstrated that she understood what it was like to be our age. Renee never forgot what it was like to be a child, a teen ager or a young adult. The advice and the knowledge she shared with me, will remain with me for the rest of my life.

We will miss Renee. Although we did not see Renee often since she and Bob moved downstate, we could unexpectedly stop by when in the area and they would welcome us in their home, as they did when we just lived down the street. Renee would always make something for us in her kitchen, a cup of coffee and some interesting bite to eat and the discussions at the kitchen table were always good. Renee had a passion for life and her special causes that we admired. She would always end the discussions with a smile and a twinkle of her eye, even if we did not agree with her. She noticed more around her than most...the hidden lady slipper spouting out in the spring on the Heritage Trail or the faint call of a bird high up in a tree...this was a special gift and she was a special person.
We will always remember her dearly. We send our love to her family at this difficult time.

Dear Kyle,
We are so sorry for your loss. We didn't know your mom and we never met with her but from your words we understand how she was a lovely kind person.
Please, try to step on her path of kindness: this will be the best way to remember her.
Love and a warm hug.

Kyle, Julien, Tirzah and Bob--and family -- I am deeply saddened to learn of this news. Renee, Z"L, was an exceptional soul. She radiated an aura of exuberance, warmth and positive energy that was immediately apparent the very first time I met her. While she is no longer of this physical world, I think that her energy is indomitable. She will always be a living part of you in your journeys and in our hearts forever. Our prayers, thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you all --

Bob, Kyle, Julien and Tirzah - I am just now at a point where I am able to convey my thoughts in this forum. I am truly saddened for the loss and the suffering that Renee endured.
Renee is very dear to me and she will remain in my thoughts in the present tense because my memory of Renee will last forever. Her candor and kindness was refreshing and so appreciated. I loved how Renee just took me under her wing and we became such great friends.
I miss her voice.
I will cherish the memories of time spent with the family in California, Boston, and Maine.
And I will truly miss sharing life updates and her viewpoint.
My thoughts, prayers and love are with the family always.
~ Nicole

My sister in law Renee was a special person with a unique way of looking at the world which constantly challenged me and broadened my humanity and my understanding. We disagreed more than we agreed, but in the end, that never mattered. I loved her for who she was,and felt beloved in return. May she rest in peace in the world of truth. And may all those who loved her be comforted in the knowledge that she lived the life she wanted to the last moment.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Your entire family was an important part of my growing up and you remain in my memories with the deepest gratitude. I am so sorry to hear that Renee is no longer with you. I am certain that, as you navigate this new territory, you will build strong paths to balance and joy in your lives in new ways, and that you will all do this with the grace, humor, and deep hearts which I remember so clearly.
My deepest symapthies.

Renee was my dearest of friends. We met so late in life, but felt an immediate bond with our common love of Irish Setters and Scotties. She always told me to give Tavish a hug before we hung up...and I did. I am so fortunate to have spent so much time with her and Bob last September. They treated me like an old friend. She was so loving and generous to me and all her other friends. I will never be the same for having met her and then lost her.She was an example of wit, gentleness towards all animals and almost endless optimism...even thru her last few months. I know she has all her beloved Plaid Dogs and Irish Setters surrounding her again.

I don’t doubt that everyone who knew my sister Renee recognized in her a generosity of spirit, a heart open to all and a real desire to do good in this world. She was – I find this very difficult, to speak of her in the past tense – she was unfailingly kind, warm-hearted and eager to help anyone and everyone in need, people and animals alike.
Renee was strongly principled; she had a clear and unpretentious sense of right and wrong; she hated the cruelty and injustice which are so much a part of this world; and she knew that there was always something she and everyone else could do to fight back; she refused to surrender.
As her brother, I have had a real love for her since our childhood, and as we grow older, as we sought out our own very different lives, I learned also to admire and respect her deeply. She was a lovely woman in every way, and she married a truly wonderful man, one of the finest people I have ever known, and together they built a life and made a home and raised a family.
And now she is gone. Her passing has left a great void in my heart and in many other hearts as well. But I can only speak for myself. I remember her kindness to me and my family when she and Bob opened their home to us, when they travelled halfway round the world again and again to join us for our festive occasions, and it pains me that we will no longer have her with us.
But of course we will have her with us, always. I will never forget her gentleness and thoughtfulness, her sparkling smile or her love. Her memory will live on in my heart and in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved her.
