Love, Sarah
With all my heart I prayed I would not find this post.
Her journey is complete.......rest now Renee. One thing that we all do know...she has been welcomed by our Lord who truly exclaimed,
"Well done good and faithful servant."
Her reward will be great and we will mourn with all of you..so very very sorry..for all of those left behind.
Welcome Home, indeed...
My heart is broken for you and your family, dearest Angelique. Renee is the most beautiful, wonderful, selfless person I've ever known and I will never, ever forget her, never. I know she's in heaven: whole, pain-free and gloriously happy, swimming in God's love and peace. I know you all will feel her warrior spirit now and forever.
Thank you so much for taking the time to update her blog and keep us informed. You, Jacquie and your entire family are in my prayers. May God bless you and comfort you, dearest Angelique. Sending you love & blessings...
Revelations 21:4 - "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
I'm so sad to hear this, but so happy she is not suffering anymore. Goodbye Renee, how we loved reading your words.

GOODBYE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE
It’s never easy to say goodbye
It’s downright hard I will not lie
Your heart it hurts as if to break
Please take it away for goodness sake
For all you feel is pain inside
Why oh why did she have to die
To leave you here with all this pain
And all your feelings to many to name
Why oh why are some lives short Why oh why is my retort
Thinking back on all we’ve lost
We realize life has such a cost
Have faith in God, for He is Love
Have faith He’s looking down from above
Find comfort in knowing she’s by His side
For it’s in His home she now abides
She’s gone but yet she’s right near by
She’s in your dreams singing lullabies
She may not be right here on earth
But she’s up in Heaven it’s her rebirth
When you sit quiet and are at rest
That’s when your memory is at its best
Remember the fun you both share
The Joy and laughter it seems right there
For in those thoughts she’s reminding you
How much you are loved in all you do
Time will heal your broken heart
And you will know your not far apart
The gentle breezes across your cheek
Are her angle kisses oh so meek
Her scent you smell you can almost touch
Her spirit is near you, know that much
And when your sad and missing things
Remember she’s in Heaven with Angel wings
Time will pass your life will move on
And there will be times you come upon
Smiles will come and warm inside you
That’s her pride in all that you do
For years from now you’ll remember when
She held your hand a way back then
Find comfort in knowing all of this too
That one day you’ll see her and all will be new
She’s waiting in Heaven with all that have past
With Love in her heart that will last and last
God promised us through the gift of His Son
Life in Heaven His free gift we have won
Grief is a part that we must get past
In order to find Peace in our heart that will last
So take time now and shed your tears
For God knows this and all of your fears
May God keep you and hold on to you tight
And may sweet dreams be yours through the night
May family and friends continue with Pride
Know that’s what she’d want deep down inside
Goodbye with Love is what I send
To Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend.
Love and Light, Nina P.
Condolences and much love. I am glad she's free.
I am so, so sorry. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. May the Lord hold you close and comfort you as only He can do. We will all be missing her terribly as well, or at least I know I will. I can't believe she's gone.
Sigh,,,"welcome home, and well done my child"
She is only finished here,,her work completed in all of you, and in all of us. She continues on in spirit, never far away, and remains here in all things beautiful.Celebrate her life in a very big way, even through your tears. She would want you to.
God Bless all of you, her family, who are suffering a huge loss.
Till we meet again, Sweet Renee,,,save us a good spot, and watch for us when we come, in the day beyond days.
I am so glad you don't hurt anymore.
Rest in peace you strong courageous women. I pray for your family and that they are at peace with your passing.
Be at peace, my beautiful sisterfriend. You are free. I love you.
My deepest, most heartfelt condolences to you all. She was truly a remarkable soul, and the world is a better place because of her.
All my love,
Bella
My dearest, Renee.
My heart is at a loss for words for losing such a wonderful woman who touched my life. You were so caring and selfless. Even when you were not feeling well, you STILL stopped to visit me and encourage me in my own health issues and sickness.
You KNEW what I was going through. You UNDERSTOOD my frustrations.
My world will not be (and has not been) the same without you in it.
(tears streaming down my cheeks here)
I will light a candle every single day for you and your family. And I will try to be the woman and friend you were to me, to others.
I love you and miss you so much.
my heart is in pieces for you. i am so deeply sorry.
I'm so sorry, all my love, blessings and thoughts are with yous! I'm speechless right now. May our Lord Bless you sweet and dear Renee. You touched my heart and I know that you touched the heart of many. I'll miss you, peace and love always be with you Renee.
Hugs and love...
Bobbi
I knew this was coming, I could feel it all week. I was talking to your Mom in my head all week and sending her my love and prayers. My deepest and most profound sympathy to you and your family who are surely just at a loss without Renee in your lives. And us, her blogging friends, we are going to miss her like you would not believe. My mom was also from Manitoba and your mother and I had a fun conversation about it.I do hope they meet up there, I think they would get along. To say I admired and enjoyed your mother would be an understatement, to speak for and to others who were suffering is a beautiful gift and your mother had that gift to make people feel accepted and comforted.
She helped us to understand cancer in a way that we ddn't want to always hear, but that we needed to so we can understand and help those around us. This is an enormous loss to you and your family, to each and every person she has touched. You may be surprised at how many you will hear from, then knowing your own mother you might not be surprised at all. Much, much love and I am sending something along to you, I know your mother would want me to do something special for you so it will be on it's way shortly. She often ordered special gifts for her friends from me and it would be my honour to gift wrap one of exquisite beauty. I am so sad and I am going to miss her posts but I am so thankful she is at rest and peace. I love you Renee and I sure hope we meet agin.
my heart is with you and your family....your gor-juss mom was an angel on this earth walking among us, walking with us, walking beside us.
now, she is our angel in heaven but still walking among us, walking with us and walking beside us.
sending all my love and prayers and warmth,
xoxoxoxo

God bless...
You are all in my prayers.
much love
No words, just heartbreak.
As I type my comment, I have tears running down my cheeks, and I know that is happening all over the world, as we find this news of our dear friend Renee. All I can feel is how lucky I am to have been touched by her beautiful heart and soul. Thank you Renee. You have made this world a better place by touching all of us with your love. I will never forget you. I believe you were one of Gods angels and you did your work so perfectly. I know God must be so proud of you and happy to have you home safe.
My prayers are with you Angelique and all the rest of the family. God bless you all.
I am so heartbroken to hear that our beautiful Renee has passed on.
Renee was an amazing woman, and we are all blessed to have known her. I was praying for a miracle, but she has gone through so much, now she will find peace.
I truly believe your mother is now with Sheldon, and your grandmother, and that they will forever watch over your families. My prayers are with you.
I will never forget you Renee, you are one in a billion.
Goodbye sweet friend
betty
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Jesus, we know that our beloved Renee is seated at The Table of The Lord with her Mother and Father, Sheldon, and brother and sister she never got to meet here on earth. Blessed Mother Mary, comfort Renee with the knowledge that The Lord, God, loves her children and family even more than she does, and that you will be with them, and that they will have Life to the Fullest. Hold them all in your arms, in your heart, and lift them up to Heaven, that they may have a knowing in their very souls that Renee now resides in Eternity, where they will meet once again, and that they will never be without her love...for all the love remains. We pray for strength and courage for the family, and comfort that only You, Lord, can give. We pray in the Most Holy Name of Jesus Christ, the Risen Lord, Life Everlasting, Amen.
My heart goes out to you all. We will, as well, miss her.
my love~
for a beautiful woman
with a raucously beautiful soul
and such a wonderful family.
my love~

I'm so sorry- I was hoping that this day would never come. My heart hurts for each of you, I can only imagine how much your own hearts must ache.
Renee left such an imprint on my life; What a wonderful woman/wife/mom/sister/aunt/daughter/grandmother...
I love you Renee... thank you for being you- for always taking time out of your day to make me (and undoubtedly everybody else who was fortunate to cross paths with you) feel special.
Rest in peace dear Renee. I will forever cherish the days you spent with me and your amazing smile that could ease my mind. Love you forever and always. x0x0 love lindsey
I am heartbroken. Please feel the love we send you to and let it help you through this time.
As you have said, I will continue to seek the beauty around me, remembering & honoring your mom.
Sending so much love.
I am so very very very deeply and truly sorry.
She will be so much missed by all of us. I loved talking to her via email. I loved seeing her blog posts and reading what she had to say...
She was a treasure.
XO.
*tears*...
Dear Angelique, to you and your family my heartfelt condolences.
I was dread of this post and the same time it´s a relief to know you mother in peace and not in pain anymore.
She left wonderful footsteps in this world and though not physical she will be always with you.
Your grief must be so immense..I cannot even immagine. I´m not good in words, specially in english, as it isn´t my motherlanguage, but remember in this hard time that this grief, as dreadful it is, it is a product of your great love. Don´t fight it, try to embrace it, let the tears flow...it´s a part of the process..and I wish for you that this grief will soon transform into an ocean of fondly memories that gives you solace.
I love the picture you choosed. It makes me imagine your mother runs through this beautiful gate, all the pain and suffer falling off her shoulders so she can unfold her wings.
Sending much love you way
~ Bettina
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." > Elisabeth Kübler Ross
Thinking of my beautiful sister Renee, who today beat her fight with cancer,,, I say beat because she passed away on her terms with her family by her side. Thank you Renee for all you have taught us and the caring way you lived your life. I will continue to be inspired by you
My deepest condolence to you all. I know Renee is dancing in heaven right now...she is free from pain and we will meet again one day.
Love and Blessings to you all. We will miss you, Renee. You have touched us all so deeply.
Love,
Kelly
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. So sad to say goodbye Renee and yet I am relieved your pain is over.
Renee, I will miss you so so much. You have bought joy, friendship and understanding into my life and have touched my life with beauty and light. Thank you for everything.
All my love to you.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. It's funny you read others blogs and it becomes like a family to know how they are doing. Keeping up with their posts. Rene posted on my blog a few times.....It was always a pleasure to read from her.
Go in Peace and Rest well dear lady....
Love Alli.....XXX
Dear Angelique, I am so terribly sorry to learn about your mom. You do not know me; I am Inner Toddler's mom and have been following Renee's blog for some time now. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I am heartbroken for all of you and yet glad that your mom isn't suffering anymore. May you all be blessed with the will and character that your mom possessed; she was quite a woman.
My deepest, deepest condolences to your family. This is such a heartwrenching thing for you and you have my profound respect. I didn't even know your mother that long, so I can imagine the utter grief everyone else feels. I wish so much for a healing time for you. Know that you have an ocean of people who are here for you! Many Blessings!
Goodbye sweet Renee. You have left a big hole in many lives with your leaving - family and friends in real life and in the internet community. Rest in peace dear one until we all meet again one day. God Bless all the family left behind with peace and comfort in this time of mourning and pain.
Everyday I have been here, checking and checking for news. And now that the news has come I feel unravelled. I never met Renee in person but she was one of the loveliest people I knew. Oh Angelique I'm so sorry. Much love for you and your family.
I am so sorry. Goodbye Renee, I love you xx
Celtic Prayer
For All Who Grieve
Do not hurry
as you walk in grief.
It does not help the journey.
Walk slowly,
pausing often.
Do not hurry
as you walk in grief.
Do not be disturbed
by memories that come unbidden.
Swiftly forgive unspoken words.
Be not disturbed
be gentle with the one
who walks in grief.
If it is you
be gentle with yourself.
Swiftly forgive.
Walk slowly,
pausing often.
Take time,
be gentle
as you walk with grief.
written through thick tears, constricted throat, gasping breath, and breaking heart...
Bon Voyage Renee... May your journey be lined with bright colours, sparkling light, and nothing but love.
I will never ever forget you, your kindness, generosity and boundless love changed me.
I shall also look for you in moments for nature so beautiful they steal your breath.

strong and very kind heart.
You gave me such caring friendship and I am honored to have known just a little part of you and your life. How much more wonderful and so dearly loved you are.
You are such a beautiful family and you don't deserve such great loss of so many close to you.
To lose your mom, must be the hardest of all.

My love to your all.
I am so sorry!

A truly wonderful woman has left our midst yet her memory will give us courage and make us smile for years to come. Rest now dearest Renee from your earthly labours, rest in the hand of God, forever in the light.

Thank God her pain is gone and she's running free with all who greeted her.
My heartfelt prayers to all of her beloved family. I know she lived for each and every one of you.

Oh, I am so saddened by Renee's passing. Heartfelt sympathy to her wonderful family.May God hold you all tenderly in His arms during this difficult time. Love, Barb
Oh dear Angelique, I am so sorry to hear this news. While I am relieved to know that Renee is no in pain, there is a great sadness that our dear friend is gone. She will be missed by so many, may you find comfort in knowing that your Mom touched so many lives. You were all blessed to have had her as Mom, sister, daughter, grandmom...please give my love to your family dearone and thank you for taking the time to post.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know. It's clear that you carry your mother's kindness. Renee will be deeply missed here, too - she was unfailingly supportive, wickedly funny, and always took time to stay connected even while battling the hideous bats inside her. Sending all my love to your family, and wishing you all peace and healing.
My heart goes out to you, your family and friends, for the pain you are all in, may you find some strength through love, and knowing that your mom is no longer in pain. From what I have read, she suffered a lot, may she never suffer again.
Wishing you love, peace and healing..and may your broken hearts one day be filled with joy and light again!
Peace
Kiki~
Renee, you will live forever in my heart. I will never forget you, my beautiful friend. All the love you so generously showered upon me and the lessons I learned from you I will pass on to another generation.
Walk in the path of beauty and light. Spread your wings and soar. The birds that were circling your head were eagles. Now you go with them to where stars are born. You were always golden stardust, now you shine for us all.
To all of Renee's beautiful family, thank you for sharing her with us. Please don't go far. You must know that we love you too.
My darlings, my heart is breaking with yours, and with the hearts of the hundreds of people your mother connected with through her blog.
Your darling Renee, our darling Renee, was one-of-a-kind. She was, and will always be, very special to me.
I've always seen her blog primarily as her love letter to her family. She loved you all so much. Her blogging friends were just lucky enough to be invited along for the ride. Whether she wrote about her beloved family members, her memories, the role of women, or gods and goddesses, she was recording it all for you. Each post is a precious piece of herself, a special gift to you.
Renee was funny, honest, naughty, thoughtful, generous, intelligent and kind. I am honored that we became friends, and I will always keep her in a special place in my heart.
I send you my condolences and my deepest sympathy during this sad and difficult time.
You are all in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers.
Hugs and love,
xoxoxo
Angela
We have all lost something wonderful, but your family has lost so much more.
Sending you all my deepest sympathies.
May she, finally, rest in peace. She will be missed.
Love Deanna
Godspeed and love, Renee.
To Angelique and family- my heartfelt condolences. Wishing you comfort and strength.
Liz
Dear Angelique and family, I am so very, very sorry for this news; thinking of you all, thinking of Renee. wishing you comfort and strength and love. xxx
I cannot begin to tell you how sad I feel. Your mother was unique in many ways and I, for one, will deeply miss her, too. Please, extend my condolences to the rest of the family.
I was so afraid to find this post, because i was hoping on a miracle. At the same time i am happy that Renee doesn't have pain any longer and begins her exciting journey home. I didn't know her that long, and only on the www., but her bright and sparkling spirit amazed me and i felt so lucky and happy with her always emphatic, supportive and funny comments.
I'll miss you dear Renee, i still do. My heart goes out for your family and friends, i wish you all lots of strength. Know that your Renee is a very special spirit that leaves a bright trail all over the world.
My condolances and blessings for the family.
Monica
~i stumbled upon your moms blog just recently...what a beautiful strong and inspiring woman she was...and so L♥VED by so many...i have sat here this morning feeling your pain...i know sorry does not change anything or make it better...when i was writing my post this morning looking for quotes this is one that i found and thought i would share this piece with you all...
“When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way.
If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget, part of who I am will be gone. "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." the good thief said from his cross (Luke 23:42). There are perhaps no more human words in all of Scripture, no prayer we can pray so well. ”
BJRuhe Frederick Buechner quotes
may you find peace in your hearts in the days and weeks to come...there will be a day you walk along with her...till then may you always carry her within your hearts...much l♥ve and light to your family...brightest blessings~
I am so sorry :(
Breeze
my condolences....Renee's left a lot of love behind. What else is there?
Ohhhh. Tears. Gratitude for her life. For what she did here. For what you've done too. Godspeed, dear Renee. I'll miss you so much. I love you.
Dearest Angelique and Family,
there are no adequate words....your beloved Mother is with her peers - the Angels. She has left a huge part of her enormous heart with you and with us. Know that she was able to make changes to the world because of her love and her spirit. A truly astounding accomplishment in this day of cold indifference and selfish greed.
And - she lives still...and will always be there to look after you and the family. She will.
God bless Renee, God Bless her wonderful family.
Love and Courage from San Francisco,
♥ Robin ♥
God bless you Renee! I will miss you terribly and I will always be grateful for your friendship and the wonderful, meaningful things you taught me♥
Love to your family as well!
Darla
Your Mom changed the world for the many people she touched, both in person and through this blog.
She truly was an angel on earth and her loss will be felt far and wide forever.
My heart aches for all of you.
Love, Auntie Heidi
God bless .
it is a previlege to have had contact with a so dear and good soul .
Renee was always loved here .
Renee, I'm writing this after hearing that you have left the bonds of earth to join the Angels.
I know your spirit, your soul, can read this somehow, and I want you to know that you and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I have that wonderful Christmas card from you that I STILL carry around as a reminder of your beautiful soul, and I have the painting that you sent me hanging in a place of honor in my home. Not to mention the numerous witty and endearing comments you have written on my blog over the past year.
Sweet dreams, my dear. Please stay close to me; I could use a new guardian angel. Lately, mine seems to be on sabbatical.
Until we shall meet again...
To all of Renee's Family:
She has touched many lives, you should be so proud to have had such a gifted woman in your life.
I know her spirit will live on forever.
Bev B
Bless you Angelique.
And bless Renee too.

God Bless you all.
To all of Rene's family:
She has touched many lives. You should be proud to have had such a gifted woman in your life. Her spirit will live on forever in anyone that has been touched by her.

Oh Renee! Oh oh oh no! I woke this morning to this news and am devastated! I need to shake my feelings of shock and turn to blessings upon you Renee, and focus on prayers for you as you journey along in your transition now....
But before I do I have to use the words that I did in my first comment here that made us both laugh. SHIT sister girrrl! Sounds like we need to meet in Paris, or take a day spa or run away for a rest on an island. To which you said YES, and told me that you loved swearing. We were connected in that precise moment. And are now and forever.
Thank you for your honesty and courage. I have never known someone like you.
You can bet I will be joining the legions of people who are praying for your whole family -- who's been through so much I can't even comprehend. Family, now you all have the best crew of guaridan angels EVER watching over you, who at least are free of suffering. At least Renee is free now. There has been just too much pain.
Much much love to you ALL.
I am sending blessings and love and hugs. I am so sorry for your loss, out loss. Your mom is out of pain now and she is flying with the angels, she is one of them and always has been. There is no death, there is only passing through one door into the next.
Love to you and your whole family.
We will all miss her so much.
xoxox, Annie

Words are so inadequate.
My love goes out to Renee's family. The loss of this exceptional woman is so profoundly felt amongst us all, however it must be immense within her immediate circle of loved ones.
Dance amongst the stars Renee. You are loved and will be so sorely missed.
Love
Sue
Much love to you all. She will be so missed.

Peace to you all.
I am so sad to read your news, my thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time.
I'm so, so sorry for you and your family Angelique. I pray your heart will not be broken someday in the future. Your mom was such an angel as you well know. God Bless you sweetheart. : ( xxx
I'm so sorry. Bless you all.
I am so sorry to hear about Miss Renee. Please know that she will be VERY missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.
Ah Renee, at last you are splashing along that beach with your Dad, Sheldon and Daisy. Life after life ... I hope you remembered to take your water pistol. See you there. I love you, always. Meanwhile, until then, I will miss you. Every day.
Angelique I am so sorry for your loss, yours, Wahids, Jacquies ... your whole family. No words of comfort can ever suffice.
Renee watches over you from a place where there is no pain, no regrets. Finally free. I know it hurts so much right now. I wish you could feel her arms around you. I know she would comfort you if she could.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Jos xx
Sadness fills my heart for all Renee's family and friends. She is at peace now and pain free; though I know she misses you all she will live forever through the love she gave so readily & freely. We miss her & love her. Bon voyage dear friend.
Our deepest sympathies. WE are circling around you, with love and faith that she is HOME and smiling down on all of you.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. She is finally at peace and without pain.
My deepest condolences on your loss. Words are inadequate, I know.
Your mother's light shines far and wide, as she touched and inspired so many others through her blog.
May you see her often in the beauty around you, and may you find comfort in one another.
Your mom was an extraordinary woman. She will be missed. But you know that. God bless your family.
I read Renee’s blog very often even though I may have placed just a comment or two. I feel so sorry for your immense loss which is the loss for everyone who knew her. Be sure that your sorrow and grief are shared.
Hope you will find lots of love on this new journey as I know you have spread here on earth.

Hello.
I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you, and your family and friends comfort, from the source that comforts each of you.

Renee. I love you forever. I weep with your family.

Angelique and family, I am so sorry for all your hurting hearts.
May the angels hold you in their arms and bring you comfort in this time of your deepest sorrow.
If there is anything...I am here.
Angelique .. I am so, so, sorry. The world has lost a wonderful person. My heart is broken today. Much love and solace to you and your family. God bless Renee, she was and will remain an inspiration.

Footsteps
If I should die tomorrow
there would be many sorrows
but the deeper print
of my name
would carry you through
the pain
And if you should hear me laugh
I am only playing a game
Hold on, hold on, to the centre
until I find my way again.
I posted this poem for your Mum a few days ago. You are all very much in my heart and thoughts.
All my love,
Shaista
Just saw the word verification letters. rhene.
Has brought me and my Mum to tears. Your Mum is telling me she will always watch over me too. I feel very blessed and protected.
I am so sorry for your loss.
So difficult to see another friend from our sisterhood (Tuesday support group) pass on from this life.
I will continue to keep all those dear to your mom, in my prayers.
Angelique, my hearfelt condolences to you and all your family. Renee is now without pain and resting in God's arms. My heart is with you all.
Writing through tears, I am so sad for your loss (for everyone's loss, but yours is the greatest). Yet I'm happy that dear Renee is now out of pain, and no more suffering.
God bless and God love you, Renee. I hope you have found your parents, Sheldon and my Katie! May you & your loved ones be now in the embrace of Love forever. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
So,so much love to you all.x
No wonder I had insomnia all last night and today I was laying in bed with the ringing in my head, more like a train station and thought of Renee with the bats! I'm GLAD I got to know Renee for such a short time it was but we are friends for life and beyond! God Bless YOU Renee my sweetheart! Love and prayers for Renee and all the family! (((((((Renee&family)))))
God Bless You Sweet Lady.You are someone I will never forget. Please hug all of my dear loved ones for me especially my Mom. She is someone you will enjoy sharing a cup of tea and lots of stories with. I am trying not to feel so sad because you are pain free now, but it's so very hard.
You all are in my prayers.
Amen !
God bless you on your new journey Angel Renee. I still feel your love and warmth near by.
Dear Angelique, Wahid and family,
I am HERE for you
& am so terribly sorry for your great loss.
With love,
Constance
I am so sorry. The world is darker without her bright light.
She is at peace now and not suffering, so that is my consolation for her loss.
God Bless you Renee, I salute you as a free person and spirit.
We will all miss you, Renee.
Holding you close and knowing that Renee is at peace.
I am sorry you hurt darlings. I loved her too.
I think the ancestors have wrapped their love around her and she is smiling. She is all spirit now. You will see and feel her spirit everywhere.
Goodnight Renee Love, goodnight.
I just wanted to express my sincere sadness at the loss of your mother, grandmother, sister, wife, aunt and friend and my deepest respect for the strength in which she showed during this tragic adventure.
I have never met Renee or any of her family for that matter, but was introduced to her blog through a friend of her daughters. The courage, strength and humour in which she traversed through this horrendous disease was not only compelling in it's reality but uplifting in the sense of hope which she refused to let be diminished.
Though her words can never replace her presence in your life, I want you all to know that they have had a lasting affect on mine and that she has left behind a true gift for those struggling to find a sense to this crazy world and the horrible tragedies we must face without reason.
My deepest condolences and gratitude.
Blake Dobie
Tears pour down my face as I read this. Renee you will be missed. Such a dear friend. I felt over the weekend that you were flying.
God bless you on your journey, and keep you safe.
Gentle cyberhugs
My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of this wonderful, brave woman.
Having lost my own mother not so long ago, I understand.
God Bless.
I am so sorry ...
Dear Family of Renee --
Once again, I am so very sorry for such a great loss.
I have literally sat all day at my computer, going back over every post here (including the first one that I found of hers -- 4/22/09). There is so much richness here, so far these words can reach if it continues to be available. I so hope that it remains open to be read and reread.
I posted s tribute on my blog. In case you care to see it, here is the link:
http://newyorkerinhouston.blogspot.com/2010/03/in-memory-of-renee.html
what the...I can't believe that...now no one's gonna visit my blog anymore...i'm so sad and shocked when I saw this post...oh my...may Renee rest in peace..blessed be :(
So sorry for your loss...
My deepest condolences to you and all of your family. Renee touched all of our lives and continues to do so.
In the short time that we corresponded, we became fast friends and she was absolutely lovely. I will miss her beautiful spirit and her vibrant words. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
This is the saddest of news...I didn't know her well, but instantly knew she was a gift.
I am so sorry for for your loss, it is just so very hard losing someone so important in your life...
holding you all in the light...love and peace...
I have so been dreading this day.
I'm numb, and oh so sad and heartbroken.
Renee is like no person I have ever known. She has inspired me to be a better person, and mom. I treasure the memories I have of her. She loved her family so, so much.
My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to her husband Wahid and her beautiful children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and everyone else whose lives she has touched.
I'm glad she's at peace and in no more pain.
I'm glad that she is with her mom, dad, and Sheldon.
I'm glad that she was my friend.
I love you Renee, and I will never forget you.
Her spirit will live on...
Love Yvette
xoxoxo
My heart goes out to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Oh darling, beautiful, Renee. I will miss her so.
A swedish girl is sooooo heartbroken. Goodbye Renee it was sooo nice to 'meet you'!
Lots of love
Agneta
This is sad news indeed. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
I only discovered your mom's blog on Monday and have a post planned for Friday about IBC, linking to it (my mom has IBC). The post will go ahead as planned - awareness needs to be spread! Please, if you can, leave this blog up so that others can learn from your mom's strength and experiences.
Blessings to you all.
Oh my heart has been broken.
Thank you Renee for listening to my silly teenage ramblings when no one else would. Thank you for showing me how to deal with problems without being negative or harming others. I don't care if you were only a virtual friend, you are still one of the dearest. Knowing I could post to you and having no doubt that you would reply really has helped me over the past 2 years.
You're such a beautiful lady, inside and out.
I love you forever, I will meet you one day in a land not known to me and we shall sip tea and laugh for hours.
Lots of love and kisses to her family,
Bailey xoxox
Such Love to be Released back into the Universe. I feel fortunate to have been brushed by that Huge Heart.
Dear Renee, rest in peace. Your presence and warmth will be missed. And may the Lord above, the creator, the universe herself have mercy on Renee's family.
I am very sorry. I will miss her. She often encouraged me through my own chronic pain, although my problem isn't fatal. She gave to others when she might have felt that it was her right to demand that they give to her. I don't know of another blogger who touched so many so deeply.
I am working and just popping in again...I listen to Renee's play list and feel that she is right here with me...in my studio...looking over my shoulder...
I will be here everyday....
I an so sorry to hear this news, but glad that she is not suffering any more.
Renee did so much good in this world, she will be so missed. Heartfelt condolences to your family.
mim
I'm so sorry xxx
I am very sad to read this - Renee was a great lady, very kind and warm with a great sense of humour. She was and is still loved by many and I found her extremely helpful and sympathetic with my wife's breast cancer problems. May God bless her. Eddie
Ah, rest in peace, dearest Renee!
You are and will continue to be an inspiration to many of us.
I wonder what will become of this blog?
Perhaps the rest of the family can update it from time to time?
My thoughts are with the entire family during this difficult time.
God bless you all.
-Dean
Renee...thinking of you...You are with your Mom now..all is well..and you will be THE BEST gardian angel your family could wish for! They will need your strenght to carry on..and they will..in your spirit.
I will hug you when I come up there...Your blog friend T.D
My thoughts are with you and your family during this awful time. I am so sorry for your loss.
Blessings to you sweet Renee, to you and your family as you all traverse this newest part of the journey...your loved ones here on earth and your beloved soul in a place/time/space we can only imagine. You touched my life, the lives of so many. Shanti, shalom, salaam, peace.
My heart goes out to all the family. I only just got to know Renee.
I can see she will missed by everyone apart from the family.
Pain free at last.
Nuts in May
Rest well Renee xo
Out of pain... but oh so sad. Thinking of you.
Go well dear Renee.
my heart is bruised... i will miss her, we all will...but with hope and faith in God, I'm sure she rests easy, she is no longer in pain, nor will ever be and that gives me enough consolation... I love you Renee! Thanks for touching our lives. :)
LOVE from Manila,
MJ @ Sassyscribbles
Renee...born again into new life, joy, endless peace and no more pain or suffering....blessings and big hugs to all of you...
OK - this is WEIRD...the word verification is EYEDIE...i die
I'm so deeply sorry. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss your beautiful mom. xo Paulette
There are special people in your life that most of the time are counted with the fingers on one hand... of those are the exceptional...Renee is one in my life. I will always remember her.
I miss you so much!
Your mom's heart touched many people. She lives on in those hearts. She lives on through dreams. We all know we are not bound here. We just have to look up in the night sky and she's be there the very brightest star. My love to you all! Becca
Renee is flying with the Angels, no pain, and watching over us now. I am honored to have met her through this blogging community and she had captured our hearts with her compassion, love, life and strength.
Prayers for her family and loved ones with this enormous loss, May you all find comfort in memories and knowing she was so loved by many.
Love, SuZi
what a heart break to find this post.
Renees light has not gone out she will shine on in your hearts forever and in all the peoples lives she touched .
To Renee's family - I never knew Renee, but came to know many of her friends here in the blogosphere in just the past two weeks. I have learned what an incredible woman she was and how much she changed the world. My prayers go out to you, peace and God bless,
Susan
Angelique,
I pondered and pondered through tears and knots, not knowing how to convey how Renee touched my life, or how to tell you how sorry I am ...
All I can say is, I send all my love, and will forever have a place in my heart, that holds the memory of your amzing loving kind Mom.
You may not know me, but from where I am, I hold your hand, and hug you in this time of heartbreak...
All my love, Vanessa
Hey Lovee, I know you're not here, for I swear (I know you would like that, if I swore) that I saw you dangling from the sliver of the moon early this morning, and the birds weren't chirping...they were singing HAR HAR. I love you forever, Renee, and your Holy Family. I shall lift your family up in prayer every day, never ceasing. My gosh, Renee, your heart is as wide as the heart of God. And all the love remains.
**blows kisses to eternity** Deb
I read your post but couldn't comment straight away as I had to come to terms with the fact that darling Renee has gone to meet up with her mum, dad, Sheldon - but still my heart breaks... why? because Renee was one of the most amazing people I have ever met. I used to avidly read her posts because she had the ability to stop and make you look at things in a new way. She was a hero to me, her will power, her love of life, of her family of all the joys we take for granted were unsurpassable. Her honesty and integrity are to be greatly admired. I will never forget her, I will hold her in my heart and I pray that the family find comfort knowing that she is suffering no more.... God Bless you all xxx
Blessings to Renee, on this her Graduation day.
My heart is broken for your loss.
God Bless you in this time of grief,
Kim
Farewell Renee.
Rest in Peace dear Renee - - -
It is heartbreaking Angelique.
Thanks for letting us know.
It is so hard to believe that a person so full of life, who maintained sucha blog full of life force is gone.
GoodBye Renee, you were truly an inspiration.
God has Welcomed You Home Renee. Your Love, Spirit and Beauty willl be missed here on Earth but Never forgotten.
You are Whole Agian
I pray your family feels God's Strength and Love around them during this difficult time.
blessings
Tina
peace be with you
I'm so glad I got to "meet" her in blogland and hope to meet her in the next place that she now dwells in perfectly well and content.
Oh my dearest Renee,
At the risk of sounding like a fool, I don't really care, your blog and Bella's are the only places I could be myself and express my views without having to walk on eggshells.
I know you are not here. You are actually in my heart. You are probably up there looking down at us and at this very moment probably telling me to stop weeping because I am making snot and I can just hear you consoling me and finally saying that "F' word that makes my hair stand on ends and you want to go up there and gallivant with Michael himself, I wonder if he does look like that brawny dark man on your previous post?
Oh God Renee, I love you, not loved you. I love you and your memory and everything that you mean to me. My face looks like a sausage, yes, I looked at myself in the mirror, of course I am vain! I have been crying, weeping because on my work email which the Automatic Mail Administrator rudely keeps notifying me that it is full so I have to delete mails. I found an email exchange with you dated April 16th 2009 and at 1:56AM you sent me an email. Now I am a mess. Oh Jesus, No wonder I learned to love you two seconds after I exchanged my first email with you earlier. The email turned out to be a three-way mail among the three of us, Bella and you and I and you said "we can relax and be the best of friends in our pajamas and a cup of tea." That is why I drew that celestial tea party. I am done crying now. I feel better. Oh my God, I have never known anyone like you and I doubt I ever will again. You are one of a kind. I will honor you for the rest of my life.
I am sorry Angelique, I needed to let that out. I thought I would be rational about this whole thing but how can I be rational when I feel I have lost my sister. God bless you Angelique and Nadalyn and Nathan and your father Wahid, Oh dear how is he doing? And your aunts and uncle. You are such a beautiful loving family.
Thank you. I am just a crazy friend of your Mother's.
I am so sorry to be reading this post..My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you..May God be with you during this sad time..
Dear Renee, goodbye for now, but I know we will meet face to face someday. I am so sorry for your loss, dear Angelique. Renee was such a special person and I am so glad I knew her, if only for a short while.
It is a tribute to Renee's vivid and strong life-force that her voice and presence is inextinguishable. What a beautiful gift she was for all of us. Thank you so much for sharing her through these last hard years. May she dwell in peace and beauty now, resting and waiting until her loved ones are all gathered together.
