I miss you SOOOOOOOOO much!!!  Always thinking about you my good friend.  It hurts so much to not have you on earth with us anymore.  An indescribable ache for such a wonderful, beautiful hearted person.  I love you!

I cannot believe that I JUST learned of your passing because I did a web search with your name to see if you were on Facebook since I have not heard from you and found this obituary site!  WHAT!!!????   I cannot believe it; You and I were best friends for so many years; and still my best friend from Long Island and I just find out this way months later, wow I'm at a loss!  I am so devastated by this news!  We were supposed to get together back in June when you came down here to Florida but both of our dads passed away that same week and we never did get to see each other again.  Why?  I cannot believe this has happened to you.  You, my bestest friend, I am filled with grief over this.  We were supposed to spend our older years together in the sun and on the beach down here, having a drink at a beachside cafe, remember?  I will miss you SO much!

Dear Rene.... it was with great surprise and shock that I learned of your early passing...I will always keep you close in my heart....starting  from the time of ST. Charles LC @ BOCES.....to the North Country LC in Stony Brook....and beyond...I have never worked with such a dedicated professional as you...some one with such great talent and humor in the face of such sadness all around us..our students loved you...as well as the rest of the staff...you will be missed...May the angels keep you safe...until we meet again...Love, Maureen Murphy, ESBOCES colleague...

Renee was an intelligent, beautiful, caring, humorous, dedicated, talented, strong woman!  She was my sister...and my heart aches at our loss.  I miss you Renee!  I love you!

So very sorry and deepest sympathy to her children. May your beautiful mother rest in peace. Renee was a wonderful person who was always smiling! I enjoyed every day that we got to work together. She will be missed tremendously!!!

Dearest Jill & Ryan, 
We are so incredibly sad to hear the news of your Mom's passing. She was an extraordinary individual: compassionate, intelligent, loyal, loving, & and had an exceptional sense of humor. All who had the privilege to know her were truly blessed. 
           Sincerely Heidi, Kevin, Kaitlyn, & Connor McPartland (Southport, NC)

Jill and Ryan,
Thinking of you at this sad time.
We fondly remember both of your parents.

God is so blessed to have you in His house. You are a remarkable spirit that will continue to do loving deeds in this next phase of your life. You raised exceptional children that will be your legacy. I love you Renee with all my heart.

To Ryan and Jillie. When the pain and shock is lessened by the passage of time, sit together and share the funny, witty, and caring moments you had with your amazing mother.

Love and payers to you both,
Debra Austin Amman

Dearest Jill and family! My heart breaks for you and I wish simple words could take away the pain and sorrow. You all continue to be held close to my heart...in my thoughts and prayers!  Sending my love and hugs!!

Rest in peace Rene. God speed. Prayers go out to youand your children. You will be missed

I remember well the day I heard I was going to be an aunt for the first time. Then this darling little tow headed girl came into our lives. Renee was not that much younger than her Austin  aunts and uncles so she grew up as being one of us. We teased her unmercifully during her tween years and then watched her grow into an amazing woman. Her husband and children were her life and pride and joy. She will be missed greatly but remembered with much love. I especially will miss her famous long texts often sent late at night as she processed a problem and that New York accent she acquired after leaving Florida. She lived her life well loved by friends and family.

My beautiful, articulate, always compassionate, loving to the fullest, to the point,amazing mom, and of course long winded (LOL) sister in law, my heart breaks and I miss you too much.
