  18. Growing up, Rene was like a second mom to me. Whenever Jeff and I would head out for whatever mischief we could find, Rene’s last words were always “be careful”. Twenty years later, that tradition carries on with my own children. It’s funny, everytime I tell my own kids to “be careful” I thought of her. Her words will continue to live on and protect those who she loved.

  19. Gloria, John, Ashleigh, Amber & Angel: We were so sorry to hear of your loss. It’s never easy when you lose a loved one. May you find the strength to cope with your loss through God, your family and friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

  21. I wish I would’ve called Aunt Renie more often. She was beautiful at the service. I especially enjoyed playing badminton with her when I was younger. I mailed a sympathy card to Uncle Nick. It was nice to see my cousins again. I wish everyone well. I read the obituary. I didn’t realize that Aunt Renie was 75! She didn’t look it to me! Take care and best wishes to all. Love, Leeann Mraovich Leeann Mraovich Aug 10, 2010 State College, PA
