Just days...

Renee and I have been together for fourteen years. She is so ill now that she can no longer speak and she has only a few days left to live. I, for once, am without words...

...except to say that the time seems to have passed in an instant.



Here she is in the kitchen just a few short weeks ago.

Hello Denise, I just saw this a little while ago. The update is sad. I think about you and Renee often, and if there is anything we can do here at the High School, do not hesitate to call.

Sincerely, Jewels

Thanks for all your good thoughts and support at this time.
Renee did not want to burden the kids with any more goodbyes, and is not wanting any of us to make a fuss, especially at the high school--she wants to slip away unnoticed.

Isn't that just like her?
