Mom,
It's taken me a while to get the courage to write on your tribute wall. I miss you greatly. You were my role model. My best friend. You were the most selfless, giving, funny person I have ever known. It was an honor to call you mom. I miss you more and more with each passing day. I wonder often what you are doing and if you are watching over us. I know you are with us every day. I see you and hear you every time Haydon laughs. Can you believe he has started snorting?? I don't know where he gets that from!!! I see you in Hunter when he is being so ridiculously headstrong and we battle for fifteen minutes to clean up his mess. I miss you and I love you. It was such a privilege to come home and spend time together at the house. I appreciated every minute. I feel so privileged to have been present the very moment God called you home to Heaven. Spread your wings mom, and enjoy your reunion with Grandpa Jim, uncle Terry, and Grandma Jo. Fly high and know you are loved and missed

Hello Tom,

I'm very sorry for your loss. Even though I might have met Renee only one time, I'm definitely aware of how deeply you supported and loved each other,...through health and during sickness. I lost my sister to leukemia over 8 years ago, and the passage of time can help ease the pain of your loss, and the good memories always remain. God bless you and your family with His comfort and peace.

I'm catching up on old newspapers and am stunned and saddened to see Renee's obituary listed. About a dozen years ago Renee volunteered in my second grade class in Nevada. She certainly should have been a teacher and was so proud to have Rachel taking on that role! She was a great support as I was adopting "my" Timothy, another second grader in our school. Due to her spirit I always looked forward to getting my license renewed and as a foster parent I also volunteered to take some other kids over for their permits as I was pretty sure I'd get to see her! My sympathy is with all of you! I'm so sorry...

Tom and Family and the Hrubes family,

So sorry to hear of Renee's passing. The Hadacek family have been friends with the Hrubes' forever. We have so many fond memories of Renee and so glad that we were able to see her at a sad time (her Mom's funeral). Renee was so much fun and always had a bright spirit. We will surely miss our dear friend. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.

I met Renee a few times over the course of growing up in Ames, but one time because of a speeding ticket I received at age 16. She sternly but nicely sat me down and did the math: By speeding, I was saving about 1-2 minutes over the course of my trip, which to a 16 year old was mind-blowing. I thought it was longer, but she was right. To this day, I still think of her when I think of speeding, so I don't! I will never forget what she said "There isn't a day that goes by that I wish I could see my brother again, don't let that happen to your family just so you can save a few minutes - your life is worth more." She always had a smile on her face and I still think of her often! So sorry for her family and the community's loss. She will be missed, as I'm sure she's made lifelong impressions on more than just me:)

Tom and Family:
The Gillen family was so saddened to hear of Renee's passing. She was Jessica's babysitter for a few years before she went to work at the DOT. Renee was a wonderful person hands down. Even after your family moved away from the neighborhood, you could still pass by your new home and she would love to talk. Heaven has received a special person indeed.

Tom,

I have always loved You, Renee and your family so much. I remember you taking me to visit Renee at work when I was in Ames many years ago. I will always think of the good times we always shared at our conferences as well, she will be truly missed. I wish I were there with you today buddy.

Tom and family,
My heartfelt sympathies to each of you on the loss of your wife/mom/daugher/sister, etc.

I met Renee several times; last time was when she rode with my husband, Jack Gordon, another DOTer, with advanced parkinson;s disease and severe tremors.

She was super-kind to him knowing his difficulties due to his advanced PD ADISEASE.

HE PASSED his driving with her; she noted he needed to use side mirrors more often.

That's funny; he's complain about my driving and i wasn;t using side mirrors! lol

It was during years after he gave up driving on his own without being asked to.

He's now in nursing home but I think fondly on how Renee handled this senior with dignity and grace given to him.

May God help you all in the days, months, and years ahead.

Play videos/tapes of her...MAKE COPIES 1ST SO AYOU don't ruin originals.

It's great hearing their voices/laughter and watching their gestures/mannerisms.

rest in peace renee.
