So sorry I could not be there today. We are in IL seeing our newest grandson. You have wonderful memories of your mom. You were lucky to have her for such a long time. Sending prayers to you and your family.
“Renee” is truly missed at FKHV. The void is palpable. She was feisty, funny and sweet. Our sincere condolences to her family.
RIP my sweet friend. It has been an honor to have been summer neighbors for the past 32 years. You will be missed. Thanks for the memories. Love you, Renee.
Billy, Boni and Jeff. We are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Some of the best times we shared together with my sons James and Travis, was hanging around at her beach house in Fenwick Island. Strolling the boardwalk and surfing the ocean for the first time, the backyard BBQs with the Iconic lighthouse -right there- they’re are vivid memories we hold deep in our hearts. She was such a wonderful, beautiful blingy, fun-loving, classy lady— and she was so proud of all 3 of you! We loved her and will miss her too ((HUGS)) Renee and sons

Including the personal site seeing we spent with Billy and Boni during our visits to the east coast 🙂

We loved her and will miss her too, Renee and sons . Peace be with you ((HUGS))
What a kind and big hearted lady to open up her beach house for anyone who wanted to share beach time with her! We had some laughs during the summer months! Rene, you were a hoot! Thank you for sharing your big heart! You will be missed. 💜
It’s ok Momma, I’ve got this. Go on home. I will see you in the kingdom. Wait for me. I am coming to you.
Love you always,
Boni
I was Ms. Nash caregiver for a good while before she had to leave her home and it was a pleasure. She was a firecracker but a sweetheart I’m so glad I have some good memories to hold on to💜
Our Beach Mom will be missed, yet her wisdom and fun nature will be cherished in our fond memories of her🙏🙏🙏
Aunt Irene will truly be missed. I have such fond memories growing up when we would leave for vacation to go to Claymont. I can still hear her voice yelling Darlene Elizabeth when I failed to hang my swimsuit up. I love you Aunt Irene.
