November 20, 2020 My Dear Allan, words cannot tell you how this news has left me heartbroken. I can only know that you have lost not only your wife but your best friend! You two were the epitome of what marriage was about. I never remember you two EVER speaking a harsh word to each other There was ALWAYS laughter and MANY stories of travel, the kids, and of course Renee’s daily adventures of life in her crazy world She always made Christmas a joy and tradition with each year adding a new handmade “Disney Character” to her tree. She was UNIQUE in more ways than one and lived life to the fullest. I know you will miss her terribly but remember she is with her Memaw (Mom) and God who she loved dearly and He is greeting her with open arms. I love you, Allan, and know that Christopher and I will always remember the great memories! My love always and sorrow! Diana Koskinas Scott ~ Diana Scott
Dear Allan, I was so saddened to
learn of Renee's unexpected passing.
Our dads came from Crete, Greece, as
young boys, with their families on
the same ship to the United States.
The two families were close.
~ Renee Lampros Brown.
Renee was such a pleasure
to be around. I helped her process her retirement with NNPS. I
always looked forward to her visits and enjoyed meeting you, Allan.
I will always have fond memories of her. God be with you in your
time of grief.
~ Melita (Burge) Breeden May God give you
strength as you go through this sad time. I was blessed to work with
Renee at McIntosh Elementary in the late 70’s. I will always
remember our friendship. She was funny and very loving. Allan, once
when I was visiting her, you came in singing Pretty Woman to her.
She was beaming from ear to ear! I know you and the boys were her
world. May God bless you and keep you. Today I will offer a prayer
of thanks for having had the blessing of her friendship so many
years ago.
So sorry to hear about
your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to
comfort us when we lose a loved one in death. D
