I will always remember Rene as a very loving and caring person. I have always respected her for taking me in as a close friend of her son(Ron), inviting me on their family vacation and treating me as part of the family.

Rene' was one of my good friends at the bridge club at the Rose Hill Sr. Center. I visited her in her home and thought of her as a sweet dear friend. My granddaughter lives in London so she loved the pictures that Erin sent from there. I will miss her and I send my sympathy to her family.

I had the honor of having Rene' as a friend and mother in law. She and i shared many laughs and glasses of wine, as she taught her cooking skills to me. I have many good memories of outings we took together. I will miss her dearly. She was a classy lady
