I am so glad I had the chance to reconnect with Renee when she was here for her Mom, my Aunt Loretta a few years ago. Although it was a sad time for a visit to Oregon, she made the best of it. 

We had a good time sharing memories, etc. I enjoyed hearing all about her life and family back in Arkansas.  Angel, Renee and I definitely made new memories. Fun times, sad good-byes seeing them pack up that U-haul and head out on their sister adventure back home to Renee's. What a great memory for sisters Renee and Angel. Sad now realizing that was the last time we would all be together. 

Renee will be missed and I am sorry I didn't get to spend time with her again. We are all saddened by Renee's passing and send condolences  to her Arkansas family from her Oregon family. 



Renee always was so giving and caring. She would always come and get me when she came in and would take me fishing and horseback riding.  She took me fishing one time we walked all of Kiamichi, McGee creek, and potapo .  Horseback riding all around Crystal and staying the night at grandmas.  She was so proud of her flower beds.  My heart goes out to Alvin and Richard love y’all.  I love you Renee. ❤️

     I am so shocked and heartbroken for the loss of this great lady.  She is like a sister to me.  I will treasure all my memories of her for the rest of my life.  Some of the best memories are:
 of riding our horses, swimming, fishing, eating Grandma's  watermelon, homemade ice cream, and all the other good foods she cooked, having mud, moss, and water fights at the pond, and just having lots of fun!  
     I pray that Richard, Al, and all family members will be given comfort and strength and that God will heal our hearts in time.  I look forward to being reunited again with her in heaven along with all of our other loved ones.   I love you very much Renee!

I will always remember my sister as a friend, the last few years we have gotten very close,it seems as tho we would visit and we were always laughing and talking about politics and as always talking about the lord and what he did for our family,I will miss her,I was trying to go and see her and hadn’t been able to,because of my work load, but I would just like to say I love ❤️ you Renee and will miss you, I will look after your Son Alvin!!!!😇😇😇😇

Renee was my big sister as her and I grew up together mostly more that the other 2 children Jim and angel. She always looked out for me and probably saved my life a few times   I am at a loss as I was unable to say goodbye. We had a falling out due to my mother passing away and didn’t talk that much since ,I was disappointed in the way the estate was changed and handled by my sisters and niece. 
I have always loved my sister as she has always been my favorite sister and we were really close once upon a time. 
I would just like her to know that I will always miss her and know that she is in heaven with my /her father and mother which is a better place. 
I love u Renee
