I had the pleasure of getting to know Renae while working with her at Applebee's in Moscow, ID while we were both in college. I remember admiring her bright, friendly, beautiful personality. The world was blessed for 28 years with Renae. She will be missed but never forgotten.

We will always remember the warm caring smile that brightened a room when Renae would walk in. She touched so many lives each and every day of her life, and she will continue to touch our lives because she set an example for each and everyone of us. She will always live on in our hearts! You will be missed by many, but our love for you will never diminish!
Happy Birthday!

Renae was warmly welcomed into our circle friends from the minute she landed in Texas, just as we were to hers. She laughed often and carried her heart on her sleeve. Family, friends, and loved ones are left behind while an Angel of heaven returns home too soon, and we're lucky that we had the chance to know her.

My husband and I met Renae at the University of Idaho, through the Greek system. I didn't know Renae well, but she was always so kind to both of us, friendly and smiling. We are both saddened to hear of her passing; it's not fair that the world has one less nice person in it. We will keep her family and friends in our prayers.

Family and friends of Renae, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this diffucult time. I was friends with Renae in high school and remember her as a bright, happy, friendly person; someone you looked forward to seeing in class or in the hall way. We had some great and memorable times in 9th grade drama, where we met. Her laugh and smile are what drew me to want to get to know her. My condolences to you all.

I first have to admit that I wan't close with Renae. I went to school with her for seven years as a kid, though I wouldn't call us "friends", and we had little contact after high school despite the fact that we both went to UI. But seeing her at the Meridian High reunion reminded me that it was her eyes and her smile that spoke for her, even after all of those years. She was immediately warm and friendly after years of no contact. But her eyes and her smile brought back many memories of youthful days gone by when her voice would ring out in the hallway, and they were always kind. I didn't know you well Renae, but I am sad that you are gone.

So sorry for you lose. Renae was a very special person. I first met Renae on a mother’s weekend at U of I, she was my son's (Steven Baker) big sister. After meeting her I knew that she would make a big difference in the world. She had a smile that warmed your heart, and a personality that took charge. The world lost an angel on earth when God took her home.

Diane & Marty, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. Although I never met her, if she was anything like her Mother (Diane, my dearest closest friend when growing up in our puberty years), than she had to be a real angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and may she be in the arms of Jesus right now.
