I remember your mom making us homemade pancakes in the morning after spending the night during small game season. Bob and I hunted most of Highland Township the day before. My heart goes out to all of you at this time of loss.

To the family of Renee,

I am very sorry for your loss. I got to know Renee over the past six months or so at the facility where she was living. I very much enjoyed spending time with her and hearing the stories she told me about her younger days. I'm glad I had the opportunity to get to know her; she will definitely be missed.

My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.

When I first read the Obituary of Renee, I started to think about the years past. Things like how she always seen to have a smile when I visited as a local friend of her children. Renee always treated me as one of her own. Sit down & eat, want a drink, are you staying overnight, becareful & so many more. I can still see Ernie sitting at the kitchen table & Renee in the kitchen with him having an evening drink. Remember how much your mother was into having a dance nite up in the hayloft of the barn. boy did we have some good times there & how about the sliding on the hill in the winter time & the medal clothes line pole that I ran into. The list can go on&on. That's what you need to remember most, your Mother will never be gone as long as she is in your Heart & on your Mind. REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES. With Deepest Sorrow & Heartfelt Sympathy, Donnie McMinn

I remember working for Renee at the Downingtown Motor Inn. She made coming to work more enjoyable. I always looked forward to seeing her. She had a zest for life, with all the ups & downs life threw at her and she still came out smiling. I can still hear her laugh... it was contagious, and it still makes me smile to remember all the GOOD times we had together.
In Deepest Sympathy, I wish you comfort and peace.

I adored Mrs. Grace and I still strive to recall her candor and humor in all situations. She was a wonderful mentor & infulence to me in the late 70's. Farewell to a lovely lady. To Barbara and the guys I wish you comfort and peace in her wake.
