I was one of many summer camp workers you met while you and Jobina were at Beaver Creek :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway. Just wanted to say that I miss Renee too, and I'm praying for all of you who were closer to her and the Duecks than I was. I'm glad I know that God is bigger and smarter than I am, because this is one of those things that makes no sense to me at all.<BR/><BR/>Lindsay Hildebrandt WrightLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947282601018898077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-31143189000818030502008-02-28T17:13:00.000-08:002008-02-28T17:13:00.000-08:00Hi Courtney, I don't want to post their personal i...Hi Courtney, I don't want to post their personal info on this blog without their permission, but I will point you to Renee's Dad's blog which should have what you are looking for.

While I have kept in touch with her through out the years since we were young I have no contact information for her family and no news of where her funeral will be. If you would be able to send that information to me I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-8130416984099976272008-02-27T08:18:00.000-08:002008-02-27T08:18:00.000-08:00As a funeral director the comment parents make alm...As a funeral director the comment parents make almost always as they make preparations for a son or daughter's funeral is "... it seems so unnatural. This is not the natural order of life. Parents are not supposed to have to bury their children". I have to agree. It does not seem natural. I don't know the people but I know of your involvement in their lives and even as her previous youth pastor I'm sure this seems unnatural to you too. I can't help but pray for these dear folks as they grieve their loss and their dreams for their daughter; as well as their community of support who have stood beside them as they journeyed down this road. These are the situations in which we find ourselves telling God "I don't understand this but I trust you". That is a good place to be through the healing and grieving process.<BR/>This morning I will ask my friends to pray with me for all of you.<BR/>Love, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269648634709183279.post-25231555395725314372008-02-27T07:38:00.000-08:002008-02-27T07:38:00.000-08:00You're welcome Dayna.
