RENEE MARIE GERKEN

May God continue to bless you and your family in your time of sorrow. I went to High School with Renee and she was a very close friend of mine. May she rest in peace in the arms of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Dear Jeanette, Larry and love ones. Signe and I just heard of the traggic loss of your sister Renee and her husband. Please extend our prayers and condolences to you and your family. If there is anything we can do please reach out to us, we are there for you now and forever. Jake/Signe Ehrhart

Renee was the fun mom when you girls were little. If there was a puddle, it meant jumping was involved. While most of us moms were fussing about your clothes getting dirty or wet, Renee was headed straight for them and giggling right along side you. Dirt mounds turned into something out of Indiana Jones and picking berries turned into a jungle safari, with a golf cart as a Jeep. Pudding finger painting was her indulgence into junk food. She could find something healthy to eat at McDonalds...

Dear Courtney and family; We are all shocked at the Trotter house over the tragic loss of your wonderful father Brett and you beautiful and kind mother Renee. They were both always so thoughtful and happy. I remember when our daughter Katherine became your first baby sitter and they were both so worried about you and if she would be responsible to care for you while they went out. This is when I got to know them best. We lived just around the corner on Seclusion from you all. My heart breaks...

Brett and Renee were indeed two of the kindest people I have had the privledge to work with. Renee was such a gentle soul and will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to their families and friends. I lost a young friend in a tragic accident a few years ago and it is very hard to deal with such a sudden loss. Lean on each other and share your memories. It helps.

Brett and Renee Gerken were dear to my heart. I moved into the Spruce Creek Fly-Inn when Courtney was just born. We are seven years apart but I felt like her older sister. Safe to say, I was a proud cousin.
While growing up with all of them, Brett and Renee took us on many vacations and adventures. Brett was more the vacationer and Renee was more the adventurer. She was a definite nature person as I am too, but I would not pick up a live snake out of the lake with my bare hands like she...

Dear Courtney and the Awad and Gerken families. I feel very blessed to have known and worked with both of your parents. They were very creative, loving and kind people and everyone they worked with really loved them. Oh Courtney, how they loved you. You were certainly the "Apple of your Father's eye". They will be with you always in Spirit as you grow into the gifted young woman we all know you will become. God bless you and read Proverbs 3: 5 & 6 for strength. With love,

For Courtney and her grandmother Kate Utter:
We are saddened by this tragedy. I fondly remember Renee as a lovely young girl some thirty-five years ago. Please know you all are in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Jim Gorman's sister-in-law and Drew Strouse's Aunt Myra
