My Mom passed away about a year after I moved to Florida. During that year, she wrote me countless letters (it was before emails) and I'm so happy that I have those now. I bring them out every so often and read some - they bring back wonderful memories and remind me of her. I'd like it if we could print or scrapbook something for Renee's family to keep to remind them what a wonderful and special lady Renee was.

A lovely idea, GD. Can you imagine what a comfort that would be to Renee's husband to know how many people, who never met her, loved her?
Now, it is so easy to say "Let's do this" and then life gets in the way. TDK family - let's do this.

Thank you everyone for putting into words what I cannot. I miss Renee as we all do. She was always kind, loving, funny, and so down to earth. I will miss her stories of what kind of critter she and her hubby would find in the house and how they had to hunt it down. I loved her recipes and her thoughtfulness.
I pray that her family and furfamily finds peace and that they always know she was loved not only in their family but in our family as well.
Good Night my friend, till we meet again.Posted 3 years ago by cricketsmama #

What can I add to everything that has been said? Renee was one of those people that I aspire to be like. She never said anything unkind. She always made sure that she remembered people on their special day. She was always there to quietly encourage, and give virtual hugs. She never talked very much about herself; instead she was genuinely interested in everyone else. She enjoyed sharing good stories, and good recipes. She was always caring, always thoughtful of others. I wish I could be more like Renee. Although I never met her, I feel that I lost a good friend today. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us, Renee. You will be missed very much.

Dear Family, This has brought to mind all of my days as a hospice nurse. For six years I did mostly nothing but cry. Not because of my own loss, although certainly that was part of it. But because I have been so privileged to know such special people. And, in my hospice years, to be a part of those last months, weeks, days, hours and minutes. Never have I failed to mourn the loss of a special person. With my patients, I knew them and was a part of them. For Renee, I feel that I knew her. She was a friend. She was family.
So, as always I was reminded in hospice - life is short and full of unexpected twists and turns. No one ever, ever guaranteed us that life would be fair. The lesson to take away is, I guess, that we never know what each day brings. And so, rejoice each and every day in the love of family and friends. They are a gift - a rare and beautiful gift that we must never take for granted.
Renee, thank you for the lesson taught. We shall try our very best to honor it.

Renee - you were a shining star on TDK. You'll be sorely missed. My sympathies to Renee's husband and family.

Renee, you were a bright star in a sometimes crazy world, and made everyone feel welcome and that they should be treated with the respect all of us want and need. I know that you are with Jerry over the bridge with all of our furry ones, please play with Kinker for me :)

*brings several bouquets of flowers and places them in various spots around the chat room... wipes tears from her eyes as she says a short prayer for Renee's husband and fur babies and for the rest of Renee's family... takes a moment to gather her thoughts and says a prayer for the rest of her TDK family... sighs heavily and turns to leave with one thought comforting her - there must have been one amazing reunion at the Rainbow Bridge yesterday*

I have been trying to post on the other thread but they don't seem to come up. I think that this must be our Renee. She was so beautiful! http://www.meaningfulfunerals.net/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=282990&fh_id=11031&s_id=90DCF13EE4E391BF790884F692DCAD54
I hope she knows how much we miss her already.

There are so many eloquent words here on behalf of Renee. And even though I knew her only through TDK, I feel her loss in our family here. I'm sure her wonderful works are being celebrated at the Rainbow Bridge.

Renee, you get to see The Rainbow Bridge. Hope you are running and playing with furrbabies you lost. You are reunited with your Dad, friends and family too. I too will cherish your last hug for me. Please give my babies at The Bridge scritches for me.
Wishing You Fair Winds And Following Seas...
Love Joan

I will miss Renee for her kindness, humor and recipes. She was such an integral part of the family. I will also miss seeing her avatar. It was such a striking picture and it always made me smile.
Family, I love you all and you all mean so much to me. I think I am going to have to go away for the rest of the day as the tears will not stop and my boss is getting impatient with me. I'll see you all tomorrow and I will be wearing black.

Renee I am really gonna miss you so much. Clicking on a topic...looking up to see: Started 1 hour ago by Renee from Arkansas..just seeing it was you, put a smile on my face. You were always so thoughtful and went out of your way to comment on all the animal rights topics that I hold so near and dear to my heart. Our recipe files are full of great recipes that I will now cherish and I promise you I'll give them all a try. I wonder what it's like to be with all the furbabies now. Hug my mamma meezer and Abby for me. Miss you hon...{{{hugs}}}

Since I seem to lurk more than chat I did not know you as well as some of the others but I always loved to read your post and the threads you would start. The words you wrote was that of a kind and caring person. May God bless you and bless your family in this time of sorrow.Posted 3 years ago by ILoveMyCats #

KYKAT, I looked back thru some of Renee's posts...her gravatar is Chrissy, a 9 year old, long haired grey and black kitty, who she refered to as her "mini maine coon". She has also mentioned Puddin, who was on medication and Tigger...
Blessed be, Renee...you will be missed.

I know nothing can ever fill Renee's place in your heart. You must know how loved she was and how much she meant to everyone here. She is in a better place now, but you know that. I understand and I hurt for you.

I have such a hard time expressing how shocking the loss of Cindy (Renee) has been. I wanted to much to be able to share how Thanksgiving went. I do believe she will know that she was instrumental in planning and without help I would never be able to make it the special occassion I have dreamed of. She will always be as special and beautiful as a daffodil. For some reason this poem has come to mind everytime I think of Cindy.
"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.William Wordsworth
