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.
To the family of Mrs. Renee Gill: I sincerely extend heartfelt condolences to the entire family. I am so sorry for your loss of a special woman of faith. May God comfort you.

I love you...We just talked. I know that you are resting and I am praying prayers of comfort for the family. I will never forget my childhood times at your house almost every day cooking okra and basically doing whatever me, Christy, Nicole & Brandon wanted to do. I will never forget your influence.
