My deepest sympathy goes to the family and friends of Renee. I, too, grew up in Farmingdale, knowing the Allen family, and I had been fortunate to have had contact with Renee within the past 2 years. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. Renee will be with you always as she stays in your hearts forever.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences and sympathies on Renee's passing. We grew up knowing the whole Allen family while living in Farmingdale, just down the block on Yard Avenue. Renee--so like her mom--was a beautiful woman, inside and out, and we are saddened to hear of your loss now that her courageous struggle has ended. Our prayers go out to all of you, especially Craig, Rick, and Randy. The "Michigan Ritters" ~ David, Teresa, Victoria and Rachel

It will be the little things that will be remembered, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. With Loving Memories, Marie,Jim,Laura & Jenny Patterson

Dear Tanay Family I never had the privilege of meeting any of you but I knew Renee through our oldest sons, Ryan and my son David. They were never what you would really call friends but they did "hang out" on occasion when they were younger. From the moment I met Renee, I knew that she was a very special person. We would go years without running into each other at Shop Rite or somewhere else in town and she treated me like a long lost friend. She would always ask how my family was doing. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word even while she was going through her illness. I had no idea that she was sick. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you during this very difficult time. Your wife/mom/sister was one in a million and will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Kathy Martone

To the Tanay and Allen families, please accept our deep and sincere condolences for the loss of your wife, mother, sister,aunt,and dear friend. Our toughts and prayers are with you all.

To all who loved Renee' Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel as I comprehend the passing of Renee'. I am grieving, and my deepest sympathy goes out to all who will miss her. There is nothing that can be said that has not already been expressed by those friends and family members who loved her. She touched so many lives and was truly one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. I am left with warm memories - her laugh, candles burning, food cooking, Friday night movies, and a glass of wine . . . I will never forget her and will use her life as an inspiration for my own.

To the Tanay and Allen Family: My dear friends, I was so terribly saddened to hear about the loss of our dear Renee. She has been a part of my life for fifty years and knowing that I will never see or hear her again is hard to comprehend. Our friendship goes back to the days of kindergarten and has continued, despite the miles between us these past 26 years. We have shared so much together. Renee was an extraordinary person who always had the time and room for everyone. Her enthusiasm was breath-taking and she never ever had a harsh word to say about anyone. I am blessed to have had Renee as my dearest friend. Our families have many things in common and now we are both grieving for our losses. I am so thankful that you were able to spend two wonderful weeks with us in Norway that fantastic summer of 1994. I sympathise with you during this very difficult time, but hopefully in time the fond memories you have will ease the pain and fill the void in your hearts. In Loving Memory God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put his arms around you And whispered, “Come to Me” With tearful eyes we watched you And saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating Hard-working hands at rest. God broke out hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. My sincerest sympathy, Stephanie and family

We will miss her smile and joy for life. Jesus holds me in his arms To take my pain way Jesus holds me in his arms To wait the coming day Jesus holds me in his arms To take my pain way Jesus holds me in his arms To wait the coming day Jesus holds me in his arms Warm blood against the bone Jesus holds me in his arms And gently brings me home His love will bring me home.

To the Tanay Family, I am so sorry to hear of Renee's passing. While I didn't know her well, she was always sincere, caring and professional in all our real estate dealings, and will remain in my heart as one of the sweetest people I have ever met in real estate. I can only imagine the pain you must feel and I wish you peace in dealing with your loss.

To Renee's family I met Renee when I was a new realtor and she was with ReMax. She was genuinely welcoming to a newcomer and I looked forward to seeing her each week while out on "caravan". Renee was a happy, friendly person and chatting with her was always a bright spot in my day. I will miss her as I know you will miss her.
