I want to take a moment to thank everyone for the cards, letters, online posts and messages, meals and gifts sent to my beautiful Renee during her final days. She looked forward to the mail everyday. We hung the cards and letters on the walls of the living room among the pictures of family. Renee's hospital bed was in the living room and she could look around and see pictures filled with memories of family and all your cards and letters reminded her she was loved! I still can't bring myself to take them down. They mean so very much to me as well. Your simply act of kindness made a world of difference at a very difficult time and it touched us deeply. Thank you!

Renee took her last breath at 10:06 PM  Saturday, December 13, 2025 with me holding one hand and her daughter holding her other. She died in no pain or distress but with the grace, dignity and love that she so deserved, all around her. We will share more in time. Now though, the hurt of the moment is overwhelming. Thank-you for your out-pouring of love, cards and letters that will forever mean so much to us and I assure you they were treasured by Renee!
