To Alexandra and Robert, and Robert: just saw this today. Extremely sadden, but comforted we will see him again someday in Heaven. He was such a great guy. I think I speak for all of Oak Grove Church, he will be dearly missed.

Ah, I miss my pal Reynolds, and our discussions about life and the wonderful world of film. I told him once that Siskel and Ebert had nothing on him. Those two good souls have probably sought him out in Heaven, and are sitting around now, getting an advanced degree in film, such as who designed the sets in "The Spiral Staircase", and what they went on to do after that.
You were unique my friend, and I miss you out by the mailbox, where we would meet in the quiet street and talk movies. RIP, pal.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We gather here today not merely to mourn the loss of our dear friend Ren, but more importantly, to celebrate the wondrous tapestry of life that he wove around us. Ren was not just an individual. He was an experience. His warm soul, kind heart, and irrepressible spirit were synonymous with the vibrant essence of 'Forever Amber.' Today, we will strive to immortalize the spirit of Ren through this theme that deeply resonated with his life philosophy.
'Forever Amber' is an emblem of warmth, a testament to resilience, and an embodiment of the everlasting glow that lights up the world, even in its darkest hours. It is the perpetual ember in the hearth, burning brightly, silently providing warmth, and symbolizing enduring hope. Ren, akin to this concept, was our beacon of undying warmth and infinite hope. His presence lit up our lives, his laughter was the melody that added rhythm to our days, and his words were the golden threads that wove our communal tapestry.
Ren was an amber sun, emanating a warmth that seeped into our lives and hearts. He was the person who walked into a room and filled it with a radiant glow of positivity, inspiring and uplifting everyone around him. His words, filled with wisdom and kindness, spread comfort like a soft, warm blanket on a chilly evening. And like amber, which preserves the essence of time gone by, Ren had an incredible talent for making every moment with him a precious memory, forever etched in our hearts.
Furthermore, Ren's resilience echoed the nature of amber, which, formed under pressure over millennia, transforms into a gem of exceptional beauty. Ren's life was not devoid of challenges, but he faced them with a grace and determination that were truly inspiring. He showed us that it is not the hardships that define us, but our reaction to them. His ability to weather life's storms, to remain steadfast and positive, was a testament to his strong spirit.
Amber's glow, as we all know, is not a blaze that scorches, but a gentle, steadfast light that guides. It does not wane but glows on, irrespective of the darkness around it. In this same manner, Ren's influence continues to guide us, even in his absence. His life was an intricate latticework of lessons that will continue to inspire us - to be kinder, to be braver, to stand up for what we believe in, to love unconditionally, and to never lose hope, no matter what life throws our way.
Ren's life and spirit will always be 'Forever Amber' to us, a beacon in our lives, a steady, warm, guiding light. He was not just a friend, but a mentor, a confidante, an inspiration, and a source of unwavering strength. His passing has left a void in our hearts, but his spirit continues to live on in our memories and the life lessons he left us with. We mourn his loss, yet we celebrate his life - a life that was a brilliant, glowing testament to the power of positivity, resilience, and undying warmth.
In memory of Ren, let us all hold close to our hearts the essence of 'Forever Amber.' Let us strive to imbue our lives with the warmth, resilience, and perpetual glow that Ren exemplified so beautifully. In doing so, we keep Ren alive within us, living as he would have wanted us to live, lighting the world with the glow of 'Forever Amber'.
Thank you, Ren, for everything you have been to us. Rest in peace, our forever amber light.
'Forever Amber' - One of the many, many favorite movies of Ren.

Dearest Ren,
It seems impossible to condense a life as rich as yours into mere words. Your smile, your laugh, your indefatigable spirit - these things were far too big for any book to contain. But, in this small space, let it be known that you were loved.
Gone too soon, you leave behind not just an emptiness, but a legacy. Your courage, your resilience, your insurmountable joy for life - these were the gifts you shared with us. And though we wish we had more time to celebrate your spirit, we find solace in knowing your pain has ended.
The suffering that you faced, you faced with grace and fortitude. And now, that struggle is over. Rest well, dear friend, knowing you are remembered not for your pain, but for the incredible strength you displayed throughout it.
We will miss you, Ren. Your absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, a silence that echoes in our hearts. But we take comfort in the knowledge that your pain is over and that your spirit is free, roaming the vast and infinite skies.
Until we meet again, on the other side of the stars...
Peter
