To all Renee's family, your loss is profound. I remember Renee in her twenties as a vibrant, strong, intelligent, compassionate woman. I had some fun times with her as well as being influenced by her clear sense of social justice. I hope her Funeral Service evoked her spirit and uniquely expressed what she meant to so many people. I hope you find some comfort in rich warm memories of Renee amidst the pain and hurt of your loss. I pray for some peace for you all.
