To the famaily of Renard, Know that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. My heart was truly sadden to hear of his passing. I was a regular customer, calling my order in before I went to work and each and everyone was extremely plesant when I called. And before, I would give my name they would say "Okay Ms. Minor" we will have your order ready. Family cherriesh the memories that you shared, for weeping will endure for an evening but "Joyeth" will come in the morning.

To the Harris Family, may the light of the Lord continue to shine on you at this time. This is a heavy burden right now, but, "EARTH HAS NO SORROW, THAT HEAVEN CAN NOT HEAL". Be strong and Jesus will take you through.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Harris just three days before he departed this life. His generous and compassionate spirit was so evident in the kind words he spoke and in his benevolent deeds. I count it a blessing that our Creator allowed our paths to cross. To his family, may you find comfort in knowing that he has now joined his Heavenly Father. Though your heart grieves, I pray that our Creator will give you a peace that surpasses all understanding and continues to wrap you in His loving arms.

The Crenshaw family would like to express our deepest sympathy to Renard's family. We are a very close family and our hearts are grieving because we lost one who has kept the family together in many ways. His aunt Glayds Crenshaw whom resides in Richmond Va. he loved so much and showered with flowers,balloons and whatever he could do for her was a way of saying I love you and thank you for what you contributed to my life as a child and all of her prayers. We say to Delta and the children of Renard, Mary and family hold on to God unchanging hands because God has one of the best.

Renard is my cousin but more like a brother. Words can not express the love that he shared with not some but all that he met. I feel so blessed to have had a family member as Renard. The kind things that everyone has said about him such as a giving spirit is what God would want from all of us. To love one another, share with one another, give to one another, be with one another, do for one another and it is written in the bible the word one another more than any other word. This is what Renard did for his family, friends,community and all that he met. This will surely be missed. My prayers are that is family is lifted up in prayer for protection, health, love and peace forever. We all have mourned over our lost but he is gain to the lord. He is now with his father Robert who we all truly miss.
Your sister and cousin
