Again I am sorry for your families loss. Renee (Na Na) was like a daughter and a sister to our family. Growing up my children and yours were always at each others houses. Renee is a special gift to us all and I am glad that she was a part of our lives. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Look inside your hearts and she will forever be there. A part of her carries on in each and every person whose lives she touched. If you ever need anything and I mean anything my family and I are always here. luv u all ….Theresa C Beers and Family. P.S. It is nice to know that the angel she was on earth is in heaven looking down and protecting us.
