Dear Dr. Ranere and Ranere Children and Family ~ It was with great sadness that we learned of your loved one's passing. My mother (Carol's) used to always say: "The Older, The Dearer". How true!! We know you were blessed to have Bessie for a long time, but it is always a heartache to lose a mom or beloved family member. Since we only know Dr. Ranere, who has been our physician and friend for over 40 years, when I (Carol) was lucky enough to be sitting with her many years ago in Dr. Ranere's office, I said to her: "Mrs. Ranere, we love Dr. Ranere; what a wonderful son you have! Without hesitation, Mrs. Ranere's reply to me was: "THANK YOU; I HAVE FOUR WONDERFUL CHILDREN" - I always remembered her exact words; that was the perfect answer from a loving mother!

During this difficult time, may our Lord give all of you strength, comfort and peace in knowing how devoted and loving you were to her; and may God hold her gently in His loving arms.

With love, prayers, and deepest sympathy ~ Carmen and Carol Quintiliani
