HAPPY 64th Birthday In Heaven Renee from all of YourCousins in N.J.

I'm at a complete loss for words. I've known Renee since before we all started school. That was so long ago, and yet it seems like it was only a few months ago. We all spent those summers running around the neighborhood just enjoying life. Renee was one of the most intelligent, most pleasant, most kind, people I have known. I consider it an honor to have known her. To her family, I am so very sorry. She may not be here now, but I know she had faith that God's word is true and you will see her again. Garland.
