Remembering Renee


Alas our beloved Renee is finally at rest. Out of that pain
wreaked body and now at peace. I will always remember her
as being totally talented and told it as she saw it! I pray that God
will be bring healing to her family and friends and give us all
peace where she is concerned. I believe Renee is in a wonderful
new home and wouldn't returned if we all begged her too.
It's way to peaceful and beautiful. Rest in peace darling.
Love you
Nester

  9. Hello Vanessa, this is such a wonderful post. The simplicity is strengthened by your beautiful words.

    It's so sad to see people you love go, but we have to believe that she is in a better more happier place, no pain, only smiles. At peace. And with time it will get better.

    Have a nice weekend!

  23. Hi again, I have another question, and thanks for being kind enough to answer them! I went for another illustration job, and author is in PA and he will be offering a % from royalties and that will be my payment, there is no advance payment at all! Could that still be good for me? I don't want to do hard work for nothing! should I still demand up front payment? Is that normal for illustrators to do work and not get paid until the book sales? Is this still a good deal if he is offering 25% in royalties without upfront payment? there is no garantee that the book will sale. I hope to hear from you soon, I am a little skeptical about this offer! I'm not quite sure about it!

    Thanks for your time!

  30. I'm so sorry, Nessa. I know that Renee was in a lot of pain. She had gone through so much, even with the illness of one of her relatives. I pray the God of all comfort will keep her family's hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

    This is such a befitting tribute, so beautiful and ethereal. You are the best!

  34. I love you, Nester. I know you know that, but I can keep saying it until your ears fall off or my lips petrify, whichever comes first. The words you left for me were so heartfelt and true. You are absolutely right. Love is the lesson learned. There are no regrets to loving. And so we continue to live the best life we can. Thank you for sharing that with me. I love this tender bunny. The flying leaves say it all.
