Guy,
today you had to say good bye to the Love of your life.
We had to say good bye to a wonderful friend.
The time we had knowing her was much to short.
She always told me, God still has something for her to finish here on earth.
God needs her help now in heaven, so he called her home.
We will always miss her and keep her in our hearts.
Guy,
our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Our hearts go out to you, Guy. We could not have chosen a more selfless sister-in-law and aunt-in-law. I and Christine will never forget her and her pretty smile. She is with the Lord and walks in peace. Rennie is now your "special" angel. We both know how much you loved each other and how much you will miss her. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Your loving sister Marsha and niece Christine.

Guy - Rennie's bright smile will be forever etched in our memory. She was truly a shining star in this world. Her bravery, faith, and constant spirit will be greatly missed and the world is a far sadder place without her in it. May you find comfort in the days ahead that she is with her Lord that she loved so much.

I had the honor of caring for Rennie as her oncology nurse. She inspired me with her courage and kept me laughing throughout her long battle with her cancer. I adored and loved her as a friend. I am forever grateful for the opportunity that I had in knowing her and Guy.
Thank you Rennie. I will never forget you.
Much love,
Joan McGee RN
