My dearest Aunt Renee, Thank you doesn't seem to say what I feel about you. To me you were always that smile on a cloudy day, that laugh, just when someone needed it the most. Waking up in the morning to hear you whistle a very pleasant tune or just listening to you and my mom, your sister "Ceceila" talk about anything made me glad that we are family. God Bless and Keep you. Your Nephew Kenny.
