Renee was the most passionate individual I have met in the hair industry. I'll never forget the time she took to make sure I understood things. She would literally say "you need to watch me do this because you need to understand" She taught me things that I use now on a day to day basis. Renee taught me to not be scared to push boundries in hair and in life. She truly was an inspiration and I am honored to have known her. "And we will be binded by our memories"-Stellar Road

I have so many great memories about Renee. She used to babysit my brother and I quite often and we both loved having her over. She would lay on the ground with her feet in the air and take turns balancing adam and I on her feet. We would make sure we got to do that every time she babysat. Another time when Renee was babysitting us she taught me how to blow a bubble, and after about 30 minutes of persistent attempts I finally got it, and she made me feel so good about myself when she told me how great of a job I did. She was truly a great person in every sense of the word. I will miss her dearly.

Renee I have so many memories of You, Amy, and me with our sleepovers! You and I dancing to the Ghostbusters Song ( I have it all on VHS!!)! You were the first person I watched Dirty Dancing with,I always thought of you when I would watch it. You encouraged me to go blonde and cut my hair short for my 21st B-day!!, and it looked great! We all miss you,watch over your family. All My Love Natalie

i dont even know where to begin. Renee you are my world, my life line, my sheesh. Its only been 4 days since you've been gone and it is so different without you. Sometimes i still can't believe you're actually gone. I know you're in a better place away from the sickness and the pain. I just don't understand why this all had to happen to you. It's not fair. Why someone so beautiful in the inside and out had to be taken from this earth. I know you're watching down on me and the rest of the family and Adelena. And just know that i love you more than you will ever know. You were the best sister anyone could ever ask for and not a day will go by where i don't think of you. I cherish every laugh, every dave matthews and stellar road concert we went together, all our movie nights, our dance parties, and every other amazing memory i have of you. You will never be forgotten Renee. I can only dream to be as amazing as you. You have touched so many hearts within your short time here. I love you neenee & remember "just breathe."
<3 your little sheesh

Renee, I am so glad that I had the chance of knowing you. Knowing you has made me a better person. All the fun we had back in the day, working at Penney's, laughing at beauty school. And our road trip to Wisconsin, such a great time. All of those memories will never leave me. Adelena is so blessed to be watched over by you, a beautiful angel. You will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Renee my dear friend. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. I will forever love and miss you...
