To the LeGare Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Mrs. LeGare for many years as her insurance agent and friend. I will miss her calling me to 'just ask one question.' But that question, would turn into a visit at her apartment discussing insurance and life in general. She will be missed.

I may not have known her very well, but anyone could see what a truly genuine, giving, caring person she was. Whenever I was at Renee's house and she came to visit she would always bring fruit snacks for the kids and would actually feel bad that she didn't have one for me. Whenever I was there I always felt like family.

My sincere condolences. May you find refuge and strength in the Lord, and know that she is now in a better place than we are, reunited with loved ones already passed, watching over us from above and can never completely leave us because the ones we love remain in our hearts forever.
Prayers, Love & Strength for the Entire Family
