Rene' M. Relosky

Dear Mr & Mrs Relosky,

I just learned of Rene's passing and I was shocked and saddened. I recall when I first met Rene' with JP, horses of course. We had many a good time at 4H, Saddle & Fence, & the AQHA shows. Oh yeah, and high school was OK I guess, kind of got in the way of our horses! Lizzie, your mom was amazing. She was truly THE most intelligent young woman I think I have ever met. Sometimes a little air-headed. Sometimes she would say she wished she'd gotten a little less brains and a little more common sense. But she grew out of that and turned out to be an amazing woman. I am sorry that I lost touch with her when I moved to Texas. My thoughts are with you and your family as the one year anniversary of her passing approaches. But rest assured, Rene' is in heaven, over the rainbow bridge, and reunited with all her furry friends she adored so much... Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Lizzie,

Words cannot describe how sorry I am for your loss. Your mom must have been a wonderful and caring woman.....she and my mom are now in heaven, rejoicing in paradise together!

God bless you and your family.

Jackie

Lizzie:
Sorry to hear about your mom. It is only now that I found out. All of our thoughts and prayers will be with you always. Love Jay and Savannah

Lizzie, Fran, Henry and all of Rene's family...
Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. Although I haven't seen you in many years, I remember all the great times we had together. Rene always was such a strong, energetic, truly amazing woman! Lizzie, your Mom and you will forever be in our hearts!
Love Donna Carlee and Gina

It was my great good fortune to be seated next to Rene at St. Germaine School (we were seated in alphabetical order). Rene had long hair and was forever letting it fall all over my desk -- and I mean all over -- making it impossible for me to do my school work. She leaned on one hand with her head while she wrote with the other... and so hear flowing locks would spread all over my desk. I asked her many times to please move it and she would apologize and do so, but soon enough she'd forget and her hair would be all over my desk again. I kiddingly told her I was going to tape it to my desk and she laughed and one day that is what I did... I brought some black electrical tape to school and put a big strip across and she was stuck... Once we freed her she had a good laugh and, amazingly, I didn't get into trouble... she was a really wonderful human being and will be greatly missed... my condolences to her family and daughter and everyone else who was touched by her. She was a class act in every respect and for her sake I hope nobody has black electrical tape in Heaven.

Lizzie,Fran,Ron,Alex,Ronnie,Christine & family. I first met Rene' at least 18 years ago when I stopped at Hunter Spring Farm to inquire about boarding a horse. I was such a novice & Rene' was my guide & teacher (also a friend) to the real world of horses. She taught me so much & helped me acquire my beloved paint horse "Pokey", who lived at the barn for almost 12 years. I have fond memories (changing the young riders'outfits between classes) of the South Park horse shows, the Halloween ( who else but Rene' would have horses in costumes) & Christmas parties, long conversations at night at the barn while getting the horses ready for shows. I watched Lizzie learn to walk & feed treats to the ponies & horses before she could even reach their noses. I never could figure out how someone could work around the horses, get dirty & sweaty, but still look great - as Rene' did. What a smile! I know you are all hurting & grieving & you have my sympathy. Remember that she touched so many lives in such a positive & lasting fashion.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Rene. I worked with Rene at MCI in the 80's and she was a great employee and friend. I remember when my son was growing up she invited us to her home and stables to let him ride one of her horses. He had an absolutely wonderful time. Although I hadn't spoken with her in many years, she did leave a lasting impression with me and I always considered her a friend.

Dear Lizzie, Sorry to hear about your mom but i will be here for you in the difficult times

Dear Lizzie, Mr. and Mrs. Relosky, Alex, Ronnie and family - God bless and keep you all during this dificult time. Know that you are in our prayers. The Georgetown memories seem like just a minute ago. Rene packed so much love and energy into her short life - she will be missed. You are all in our prayers. Lizzie- we are right up the street, call or come over anytime.

Lizzie, Alex, and Rene's parents and family, our deepest sympathy. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this difficult time. Lizzie and Alex, please know that we are here for you in this difficult time - and beyond - for anything that you need. Michael, Susanna, Lysandra, & Abraham

My deepest sympathies to Rene's family and friends. I came to know her as a colleague at MCI and she quickly became a good friend. Rene's quick wit and caustic humor endeared her to me. She was professional, driven and a dedicated mother. I will miss her.

Lizzie and family,
Have not seen you for many years and now am so sorry that I lost touch. We had many great times at Hunter Spring Farm with the South Park shows, Halloween parties and Prancing Ponies... You are in our prayers, and may you find comfort in the fact that she is in a peaceful better place where she no longer needs to fight.
Julie, Mark, Sarah, Zach and Melissa Scott.

Cousin Ron & Fran, our condolences for your loss. Cousin Ron Relosky from Pittsburgh called to inform us of the sad news. Again our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family along with our prayers. Cousin Frank Relosky Jr. & family from Buffalo, NY.

Lizzie and family;

SO hard to find the right words to say. Please know that we have you in our hearts and prayers. If you ever need ANYTHING lizzie, you can call. Anytime. Even if its just to go to the mall, or the park or a model show! You are such a strong, positive person! That will help you cope with this. Eventually all of us girls have to go through mother loss. To have to at your age is just not fair. Be strong, but its ok to be sad too.

Dearest Lizzie - your mom was a wonderful friend to us. I'll always remember her at the South Park Horse Shows, happily encouraging young riders. We are so very sorry for your loss. You could always trust Renee to loyally stand by her friends and family. Memories of her will stay with us forever. God bless you all.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Relosky, Liz, Ron and family, I am so very sorry to hear of Rene's passing. I'll always remember our years at St. Germaine and growing up together in Georgetown. In particular, I remember the fun we had the summer we spent hanging out in Snyder's treehouse. She and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Fran & Ron,

We are so sorry to hear about Rene. We had such good times with her when we kept our horses there. Our hearts go out to Lizzie. Our hearts go out to the both of you. She rests now with God.
With sincere fondness,
Jim, Sharon & Shera Doman

To Relosky Family from the old Art Saddlery Company clan. Our hearts go out to you and your family. We have all known Rene since she was a child and the love she had to help others and her passion and love for horses was wonderful. We had the pleasure to see her grow up to be a fine young woman who had a passion to share her horse life with others. But most of all, that stunning smile was always on her face and the soft voice will always be remembered. Our deepest sympathies are extended to your entire family. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Vicki, Shirley, Joan, George

Lizzie: Your courage and positive attitude throughout the ups and downs last year truly inspired me. I am so sorry for your loss, but know that you will be strong. Please know that you are always welcome to come see me.

My deepest sympathies to Rene's family. She & I grew up together in "Georgetown". I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.

Lori Eichelsbacher Santelli

Dearest Mr. and Mrs. Relosky, Ronnie, Liz and family,
I have such wonderful "Georgetown" memories and so many include Rene'. I am so sorry and I will keep all of you in my prayers.
My love,
Carolyn Green Galante

My deepest sympathies to Lizzie, Alex, Rene's parents, brother and the rest of her family. Rene was a dear friend to me and I will miss her warmth and friendship very much. I'm glad to know that she is no longer suffering and is in a better place!

I love and miss you Rene!

I have so many fond, loving memories of Rene -- our families meeting at Grandma Simko's (in her downstairs kitchen) after Sunday masses for her yummy home-made chicken noodle soup; Thanksgiving dinners at Aunt Fran and Uncle Ron's home, (being excited on the day we graduated from the "children's table" to the "adult table", yet not so fond of the fact that we had to help with all the work:); Christmas Eves at Grandma's when all the "kids*" had to hide in the upstairs bedrooms while Santa came, as my mom (Evelyn Seech) would proclaim a "Ho, Ho, Ho" in a disguised voice as someone else would ring bells and stomp their feet; and of course, going to visit Rene in West Virgina after she was born (she looked so tiny on that big bed, and West Virginia seemed so far away at that time). I also remember babysitting Rene and her brother "Little Ronnie" one day with my friend, Joy -- which event is a story within itself; and a more recent memory of "saving" Lizzie in my sister's pool as a beautiful, perfectly decked out Rene urged me on from the sidelines:) I am saddened that Rene is no longer with us on earth, but find comfort that she is still with us in spirit, and peaceful with Jesus in heaven. I will miss her beautiful smile and personality, and always treasure the childhood memories we shared. David and I send our deepest sympathy to Lizzie, Aunt Fran, Uncle Ron, Ronnie, Christine, and their children, and Alex. May you find comfort in the Lord's promises, and in the love that still surrounds you. Sandy Landefeld (Cousin of Rene).
*"Kids" in order, (I think): Marlene, Cheryl, Sandy, Kenny, Rene, Randy, Jackie, Ronnie. (I love you all!)

My heart breaks for my very dear friend, Rene, whom I will miss terribly! Rene was such an inspiration and was always there when I needed a friend. I am forever grateful for our friendship.

You all have my sincere condolences. May knowing that there are others who really do care give you a measure of comfort. May the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,  who comforts us in all our tribulation,give you all the needed strenght to endure each day. For God see your tears, and He is with those who are broken at heart and is binding up their painful spots.

We send our deepest sympathy to Rene's family. Even though she is in a better place, it does not make it easier for you. Know that she is with God and looking down on you, she will take care of you. God Bless you, we are keeping everyone in our prayers.

The Fabus family
