We met while we were getting our nails done. Her warmth, humor and good spirit are what drew me to her. The love she had for her family and the concern she showed for others is what made me care for and appreciate her. Renea's boldness, her straight-forwardness and her teachings are what made me admire and respect her. Renea reminded me many times to never allow the simple things in life to stress me because life is to be enjoyed. Thru her trials with her granddaughter, she SHOWED me what faith is. THIS world has lost a true jewel, but the angels in Heaven are smiling. May God's love comfort everyone who was priviledged enough to know this beautiful lady.

LIFE
WE LIVE IT WE CHERISH IT
WE LOVE IT WE ADORE IT
WE ABUSE IT WE PROTECT IT
WE HATE IT WE CONQUER IT
WE RESPECT IT WE ENJOY IT
WE SOMETIMES EVEN IGNORE IT.
BUT,TO THE DEATH OF OUR LIFE IS "LIFE". THAT'S "ETERNAL LIFE".
ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN ABOVE, ARE THINGS THAT RENEA LIVED. SHE NOW ONLY HAVE ONE RESPONSIBILTY IN LIFE TO LIVE NOW AND THAT IS TO LIVE THE "LIFE OF LIBERTY" WITH HER MASTER ETERNALLY.
TO NIKKI:
I'M SURE THAT YOUR MAMA WOULD SAY:
BABY GIRL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME; I FINALLY MADE IT HOME. THE CALL WAS MADE AND I HAD TO ANSWER.
ALTHOUGH, I'VE LEFT SOME STONES UNTURNED AND SOME QUESTIONS UNANSWERED,SOME TASKS UNDONE THIS TO WAS ALL IN HIS WILL.
AITHOUGH YOU MAY NEVER HEAR MY VOICE AGAIN, MY WORDS YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NEVER FEEL MY TOUCH AGAIN, MY WARMTH AS YOUR MOTHER YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. THE LOVE THAT WE HAD FOR EACH OTHER WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR SECRET PLACE"OUR HEARTS".
THE WORD OF GOD SAYS: WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING. BABY GIRL, IT'S MORNING TIME FOR ME. I'M AT PEACE.
SO HELP ME CELEBRATE MY GRANTED REWARD WITH THE MASTER.

I have known Renea mostly all of my life and it was certainly my pleasure. She shared her mother & father's love with me, she blessed me with a little sister I never had and has always given me words of encouragement. My heart was deeply saddened to learn of her passing, but I know she is at rest and with Nana. I love you all, I hate that I can not be with you in the flesh, but my spirit & prayers are with you all in your hour of bereavement. May the presence of God go before you to make rough places smooth, crooked places straight, that eaves and success may be your way. May God continue to bless and keep you in His care.
Love Always,
LaVett

Every day I wake up in my own home and it was Renea that helped me and my family to achieve this dream. She was a wonderful, down to earth woman and funny to go along with it. I know her family has suffered a tremendous loss and for this I am truly sorry. Her good work will never be forgotten by those she helped to achieve their dreams,especially me. God bless.

Words can not express the sadness that I share with you all. Renea was a mentor that helped to mold my real estate career. I just want you all to know that she always spoke of the love she had for her family. I will miss her dearly, but I know that still lives through you. Continue to carry her spirit of love within you. Always remember "God Knows Best".
