Renee and I grew up together at Westminister Presbyterian Church in Decatur. Reconnected at MacArthur High School and later she became family when she married my husbands youngest Uncle. So many wonderful memories were created as we journeyed through life together. She was intelligent, kind, creative, funny a loving Mother, wife and my oldest, Dearest friend. She loved the Lord and was excited about going "home" ! May her memory be an Eternal Blessing. Love you Renee.

I had the pleasure to work with Renee back in the late 70's, early 80's at Citizens National Bank. She was always one of my favorite co-workers. I also had numerous opportunities to socialize with both her and Jim. My condolences to the entire family. Greg Spain.
