Renee had the kindest heart of anyone I knew. Now that she is gone, the sun will never shine quite as bright. I won't say goodbye, because I know you will be there to greet me when my time comes.

All of us at the Foundation are deeply sadden by your loss. You certainly gave your mother many opportunities to be proud of all you have become. She must have been a remarkable woman. My sympathy. Sherry Malone

Dear Dave,
We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. She was a unique and special person taken from you much too early. I consider myself lucky to have known her. As I know you are well aware, Renee had the rare quality of impacting others through her encouraging words and wise advice. She was a great example to all of us, in her ability to make others around her feel special and important. May God surround you with His love and comfort during this difficult time, and in the months ahead.
Love,
Rick Polistena and family
