I will always remember Rene with his great smile. The times I shared with the Viens family have always been good memories. There are no words that can comfort you or Mike Mickie or Cathy, except that Rene is with the lord and he is smiling down on all of us. I pray that you will heal quickly and the happy times find there way back.
Mike I'm thinking of you.
