Ed, Julie and Joey, So very sorry to hear of Rene’s passing. We worked together for yrs. also we were neighbors for a few yrs. Praying you find peace and comfort in the love and memories you now have. God Bless you.
So sorry to hear this. I worked with Renee at the County. She had a great sense of humor and she made everyone around her smile and laugh. She will be missed.
A very nice tribute done here of Renee. I remember her well “back in the day” when we were all starting to settle down into our adult lives.
