Dear Don and Family,

Ralph and I both were so sad to hear about Rene. We are blessed for knowing someone who was so kind. I have fond memories of Rene helping to pin the train on my wedding dress. I also recall the the beautiful necklace you gave her on your anniversary, how excited you were. We were watching our wedding video and it made me smile to see you both and truly remeber what a wonderful person Rene was/is.



With love

Laura(Dillon) and Ralph Pike

Betty and I send our condolences to you and your family. Your "Bride" was a very special person, a loving and caring person and I don't ever recall seeing her that she did not have a smile on her face, even when we visited her in the hospital that smile was there for us.



Don, live with the beautiful memories of 54 years.



Thank you for the memories of our association over the years.



we Love you



Betty and Bill Ahrens
