  1. Renee was my beautiful big sister. I will miss her but know she will finally feel peace and Godly happiness. She was amazing in her ability to remember her childhood. She will reunite with Mema who loved Renee so dear. Her earthly suffering is over and her bravery in difficulty will be a lasting legacy. Renee passed on the love she felt from Mema to beautiful Addy.

    Love you sis and will miss you. Steve
