Add A Condolence

Cousin, you are truly missed, love you, R.I.H.

Cousin, I enjoyed the times that we talked on the phone. And the summers that you stayed with us for the weekends. We had fun. God gave you such a time as this to live your life. I understood when you said you were tired. So you just rest, Renda. God has you now. I love you and will miss you. ❤️

Condolences to the Family. May God comfort you and keep you forever more.

Jimmy and Family

Prayers and Condolences. Rest in heavenly peace. California Elder Family

We are so sorry for your loss. Shirley Caldwell and Family.

I don't know where to begin with this memory here Sis! You were beautiful, courageous and a beacon of light and hope to everybody that knew you and was going through "something." I thoroughly enjoyed you being a part of my life, a true friend to say the least. I'm so proud of you for taking a horrific situation and making the best of it, living day by day being appreciative and grateful for the hand you were dealt in life. As you would often say, "I'm going to play the cards that God has dealt me in this life....because there's somebody somewhere that was dealt a worse hand than I could ever imagine." LOVE YOU ALWAYS Renda....See you when I transition to the other side. My condolences to her friends and family.

Our sincere prayers go out to Renda's family and friends...she was an awesome neighbor,you all take care of each other and we are so sorry for your loss. Porter Family 🥰

Condolences to the families during this difficult time.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
