Lovingly designed by Renee's Raven Sister Laurel Gaylord/Studio Lolo.
.
In time we are going to put together and distribute Renee's Book of Love.
.
.
We are going to do this for ourselves and for Renee's Family.
.
.
It is going to consist of special blog posts, letters, and stories
about the love and relationships Renee offered to so many of us.
.
.
Please add this wonderful image on your sidebar.
.
.
And please use it to spread the word.
.
.
So far we have about twenty contributors.
.
.
I won't be surprised if we have 100.
.
.
I will soon add a running list of contributors on my sidebar:
.
.
purple means I've received your material
.
.
and red means I know it's coming.
.
.
Renee has so many friends.
.
.
Please do not assume they know about the book.
.
.
Write a post, send emails, please let anyone you can think of know what we are doing.
.
.
There is still no rush.
.
.
Do you like this, idea, Renee?
.
.
Didn't Laurel do a great job on this design?
.
.
You are so missed and so loved.
.
.
Love always
.
Your Devoted, Loving & Funfilled Friends.

ReplyDeletewonderful. I'm sure her family will appreciate it. I've been thinking of them all week
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you all and what a beautiful design Lolo made!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful gift for each other and her family!
I have been thinking of Renee and her family also, KJ.... this is going to be such a wonderful, memorable gift - of LOVE.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a healing gift to them and to all of us as well.
Renee LOVES it - as she LOVES YOU.
She is never far from us.

marianne, that friend of yours lolo is quite talented, that's for sure! ♥
robin, i'm tickled you've gotten to know lo and she you. just so you know.... :)
I have been writing my pages in my head for days, I will get it down on paper when I get a day off :-).
ReplyDeleteI love the banner. This is a great idea, Kj. xoxo
Such a beautiful badge, thank you lolo for making it and thank you kj for all the work you are doing for this book. It's the best idea in the world.
ReplyDeleterenee will be happy i'm sure. and i bet her family will cry. and be so happy too.
xoxoxo
annie, i am soon to write mine, maybe tomorrow....it is great to read what each of us has experienced with renee.
ReplyDeletelori, i just saw the badge (good word) on your blog. it looks great and made me smile.
This is so darned touching that it brought tears to my eyes. I wish the national media would pick up on this story after the book is complete.....
ReplyDeleteI'm in! What a "senior angel" idea. (Do you have little wings sprouting on your back?)
ReplyDeleteHer family, and all of us, are going to love this. Thanks, kj.
What a wonderful idea kj. I'm in. I'll be scouring my comments from Renee for my contribution. Well done Lolo too.
ReplyDeletelydia, i've thought about that too. i wish i knew a book agent who would scoop this up. renee's blog is so worthy for anyone to benefit from. ♥
ReplyDeletelinda, HA! i am a junior angel in detention!
bt, yay!
This is such a lovely idea and the cover is fabulous. I know her family will appreciate it...things like this book will validate Renee's huge kindness, love and strong heart, to be remembered forever.
ReplyDeletemarion, you know that expression of your eyes being bigger than your stomach? that might be me. i don't know how we will make a nice looking meaningful book for renee, but i think it will happen.

you do know that even if you take all our stuff on raggedy bits of paper, punch holes in them, stick some string through it and give it to her family, it will be appreciated and loved, it's what we say not the look of it. just wanted to say.
ReplyDelete(after princess diana died i wrote a poem and it was accepted and put into the book that was made for her brother sent from thousands of us who loved her. I felt very honoured)
Mee tOO X:-)
ReplyDeleteCount me in sweetie..sorry hadnt seen this before..been in alot of pain the past week. I will so contibute to this wonderful gift.

Renee, my dearest and most constant friend.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of our frienship, she wrote me beautiful messages of how she loved my art. I would visit in return to read the posts she so caringly and wittingly wrote. Renee shared every part of herself and life.
Love for her beautiful family.
Struggles with breast cancer. Sharing funny picture's, such as women in ironic fun situations. Renee would write the whole stories behind these pictures. I didn't quite get them to begin with and Renee would write to me, how much she laughed that I took the stories in.
This would set me off laughing also.
My mum and I would have dreams we didn't understand and Renee would give us the interpretations with extra love wishes to my mum.
Renee became our friend.
No matter what she was going through, she reached out and gave of her true love and time.
She made us feel special, like we we're angels. Writing to say these very words.
I knew Renee is our beautiful angel!
It was an honor to know her.
Thank you Renee, you are so dear to me and I will never forget you.
Hoping one day we could fly around the skies and in the sunshine as sweet little angels.
Loads of hugs and love to Renee and her beautiful family.
Julie
KJ... look at all your huge heart and soul have set into motion!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE our ringleader - and Renee is so proud of you.
If you need any help coordinating this - let me know....I will do all I can to help you.
And....just looking at your sidebar "Second Date Request" made me laugh out loud! (Something I haven't done too much of lately....)
Thank you for being, well....YOU!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
