This will have to be my last entry in here. I will find other ways to reach you, dont worry. You are always around me, I can tell. Again as I have said before, I will never never forget you. Help guide me through this life, take care of me, please. I need all the help I can get. I think about all the things you have missed and will miss in the future. Like Kristen's wedding, how you would of had so much fun that night. We will all miss you. I know in my heart that you are here for all of us, Angela and her family, Bridgett and her family, your own family, all your friends you had, and my family. I bet you still can't believe how much love you had........it shows in this guestbook, along with Dakota's. Again, thank you for being in my life. Thank you for being my friend, and thank you for looking over me until we meet again, and when we do, we will start where we left off. Laughing..............

Renee, I can't believe tomorrow it will be a year since I heard your voice. It just seems impossible. There isn't a day that goes by that you and Dakota aren't in my thoughts and prayers. Your friends celebrate your life when we get together. We remember the funny times with you, and how you could make us laugh. We remember the big heart you had, one that I will never forget. You always thought you were strong enough for anything that came your way. You, my friend, will never be forgotten. Along with your friends, I will come see you and Dakota on Saturday and cry a little and laugh alot and celebrate our friendship that each of us had with you at sometime in your life. Until we meet again, I love you....
January 17, 2006

Well once again I missed your b-day.....you always would "remind" me of that......I honestly did not forget your b-day this year, how could I. Just didn't get a chance before now to write you a note....now that it is over a sadness has run through many of your friends. I'm not sure if it is because it IS over and that means its final. This Christmas will be hard, but I, myself, will try to celebrate you and Dakota's life. Celebrate the time we had with you. I hear you somedays talking to me like you were standing in front of me.....maybe you are....love always

Renee,
It feels so unreal..that you and Dakota are gone. Everday the people who loved you, mourn. They need you Renee. They need your reassurance, they need to feel your presence. Please wrap your arms around all of those who love you, help them. There isn't a day that passes that hundreds maybe thousands of people think of you and Dakota. Somehow there has to be a positive change somewhere, out of this tragedy. As the holidays quickly approach, your friends and family will need all the love and reassurance you can give them, to help them through this more difficult time of the year. After all, you were the world to so many people! Love you lots Renee.....ML2U

Dear Renee,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since this tragedy happened. I wish we had stayed in touch after high school. I've been sober for over 23 years now. I stopped over Tony and Mike's house yesterday just to share some memories we had from high school. I never met Dakota, but from what I hear he was the apple of your eye. I still write and play music, and when the words come to me, I want to write a song about the two of you. May angel's wings wrap around you and bring you peace and serenity. Take care my friend!

I miss you,I love you and I think about you everyday.You and Dakota will never be forgotten.

I still think of you often. I take some comfort knowing that you are Home with your precious baby boy. I pray that you and Cody rest peacefully in the arms of the angels. I don't believe there's a greater love than that of a mother for her child. Thank God that Cody isn't alone...Renee you were truly a brave soul. God bless you! You will never be forgotten.

Janice and Bob:
There are no words that adequately express my sorrow for your loss. I met your girls when they were younger and remember how beautiful your daughters were (and still are). As a classmate, friend and neighbor of yours, Janice, I have many happy memories and know that you have a wonderful family. May God give you the strength to carry you through the grieving process and help you to cherish happy memories of the times you shared together with Renee and Dakota. He was a cute, loving little boy, and will be missed by all his family and friends. Renee and Dakota are together in Heaven.
My Deepest Sympathy to you, Bob, Rhonda, Robin and all of your family.

To the Klippel Family,
Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. We had dinner with Renee a few years ago, but unfortunately Dakota wasn't with her, so we did not have the opportunity to meet him. We wish we had. From what we've heard, he was a wonderful little boy and the light of her life. Please know that our thoughts are with you during your time of sorrow.

My friend Renee, We have shared so many good and sad times together.I remember when we got two baby lambs. They had to be bottle fed. Well you came over and wanted to bottle feed them So Sarah handed you a bottle and told you when you were done that you had to burp him.... and you did.That poor lamb didn't know what hit him. We laughed so hard. You were such a good sport. I will miss times like that we could always get you to do something silly then we would all laugh.We (I) will truly miss you Renee. I know that you are at peace.Please give Dakota a hug everyday for us.You will always be in our prayers Love you much!

I was Renee's sister-inlaw for a number of years, and I am deeply saddened by the news of her and Dakota's passing. I will always remember her in my heart with a smile. She was a strong and vivacious woman. Renee was one of the hardest working people I have ever known. I am sorry that because of circumstances (divorce) we lost touch over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends. God Bless!

I have already wrote in here for the family, now Renee this one is for you. I will miss our phone calls, and our talks about each of our families. You always asked about each and everyone of my family members. You were always there if I needed you, back when we moved to Mogadore, I dont know how I would of packed my house up without you. You came over took charge and we got it done. I will remember the way I would tease you about things and you would just laugh at me.....our "laid off " period that had me so covered with hives that when you would pick me up to go to unemployment you would just look at me and crack up laughing at the way I looked. How you listen to me in July when I lost another very close friend, and you always would end your call with "Hang in there Kim". Never knowing that 6 months later I would be feeling the same way, and it was you I was hurting over. Remember singing "Freebird" together. Now you are free. Thank you Renee for being my friend. Thank you for listening to me, thanks for being there when I needed you...I will remember you and Dakota always.....

Renee,
This nightmare plays in my head every night when I go to bed. I've heard how you and Jerry wanted a child so bad and what you had to do to make the dream a reality. This makes it even that much harder to bear. But one thing is certain, as one mother to another, is knowing that you went Home with your baby. I know that as a mother, a child's death is our worst fear. Most of us think to ourselves that if we ever lost our child we'd never be able to go on. I assume this was also one of your worst fears. It touches my soul to know that Dakota didn't have to go alone. You are in death as you were in life, and that is together. May you and Dakota both watch over all who this tragedy has touched and let them know you are still here with them. Please Renee, help Jerry find a way to cope. Unfortunately, he has to go on without Dakota. Please, help him. Please.

Dear Renee's Family, My heart truely grieves for your loss. I met Renee thru a mutual friend about 6 yrs. ago and though we never grew close, I always admired her (what I would call an asset)boldness. She wasn't shy about verbalizing her opinion, and that's a good trate for a woman. I am a single mom raising 2 girls and it's not easy alot of the time, and seems to get tougher. My admiration goes out to all of us women in this doggy dog world who deal with the challenges of everyday life while raising children too. May GOD's strength be with you all, as are, I'm sure, many peoples prayers. GOD BLESS YOU
