Rene is not here to fix my cars anymore, but on Saturday--after his funeral and gathering of LOVE in his memory--he made sure Tammy had power once again. He may not be here---but he is still fixing things. I miss you. I promise I will be around for your Babe.

RENE, As kids, we lived together, We fought, we laughed, we cried. We did not always show the love, that we both had inside.

We shared our dreams and plans, and some secrets too. All the memories we share, Is what bonds me now to you.

We grew to find we have a love, that is very strong today. It’s a love shared by our family, that will never fade away. RIP Rene, RIP! Love Sherrie
