I'm cleaning up the desk this afternoon and I found a text file called "wisdom from renee."

My friend Renee passed a couple of years ago. She was great fun, always ready with a hug, a big smile, and a bunch of laughs.

Here's what she gave me about 15 years ago:

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember....
when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

We all miss you, Renee. But we sure had fun while you were here!

Renee was both very wise & compassionate. Our world needs more like her

Well that's a great reminder from one of those, that truly loved YOU!
Don't walk away Renee...

A good reminder that random acts of kindness make a difference in the lives of people we come in contact with. Too bad more people aren’t like your friend.

Cheers

That's good stuff right there! Rest easy, Renee.
