Renee and I met in our freshman year at Michigan State. We bonded over our love for hockey. That was in 1980. We shared concerts and parties and celebrated our wins and shared our losses. She was the closest thing I had to a sister. I’m devastated to hear of her passing and send my love and condolences to her family.
I met Renee during Michelle’s college years. She came home with Michelle multiple times to stay at my house. She adopted me and said I was her second Mom.
She was great friend to Michelle. I was happy to be part of her life. May she RIP.
We were neighbors on Kayser Ave and enjoyed watching Renee and Captain. Captain and our dog Lucy used to run the fence. We used to talk about our sports. So sorry to hear of her passing but no more pain thankfully.
I meet Renee in our freshman year at Michigan State University. Over the years we have maintained a friendship. With our love of MSU sports. Renee was fighter over her last years.
Renee was such a dear neighbor and friend. She was always helpful and there for me and my family. We are so saddened to not see her smiling face. We send love and prayers to her family. We love her and we will miss her so much.
