Dear Family and Friends,
We would like to invite you to join us this Tuesday evening Feb. 9th at 7 pm at our family's restaurant, Round Table Pizza in Huntington Beach, for dinner, drinks and friendship in honor of Renee. 20% of all sales will go directly to Renee's family to assist with the financial burden of Renee's long fight. If you would like to bring a copy of your favorite picture of Renee, we would love to add it to the collection of memories of our beloved friend. We hope to see you there as we continue to support and believe in our beautiful friend, Renee.
Much love,
The Quatman Family

Our Beautiful Angel Watches Over Us
This morning at 3:45 am, Renee passed very peacefully in her sleep. She was surrounded by people that love her and we told her how much we loved her every second. She was very peaceful and in no pain and as a dear friend of ours said, she beat this stupid cancer. It lays on this earth and she is free from it high above us, watching over us.
After we all gave her our love we all sat together in the waiting room and watched the sun rise over the mountains. We then pushed her IV pole around for our last lap with her and nurses that knew and love Renee joined us along the way.
It is so difficult not to be angry when we feel so shorted by the loss of our friend, daughter, sister and love but remember that she is at peace now and will never suffer again. She is so beautiful and has touched us all so deeply and there will never be a day that she isn't in our hearts and minds. All of Nae Nae's kids will continue to grow up knowing who she was and what they meant to her. Every time a special song comes on or the scent of Jans or Thai food will make us remember. Every silly "raccoon" moment that we have will make us smile at the thought of what she gave to us. She gave us strength, courage, the true meaning of friendship, loyalty, passion, fight, stubbornness, love and she truly made us understand how short life is.
Thank you,
Audrey

Last night all of us surrounded her talking about our memories with Renee. From sneaking out to parties to vacations and special dinners. We all remembered beautiful memories with Renee and I know she loved every one of them. She has not been alone for even a second and we will continue to stand by her side as she fights on. She is so strong and so brave and most of all, so beautiful. We will continue to update as the day progresses but know that her strength comes from all of your love.
BELIEVE,
Audrey

Renee is now resting comfortably with the ventilator removed. She has her loved ones surrounding her, soft music playing, the smell of oranges from oils used on a scalp massage and the many pictures of her beautiful memories spent with all of you. She is very comfortable and completely at peace.
Please continue to pray for her.

We are still waiting for our room where we will be removing the ventilator so we have not moved forward with anything for Renee. We have had many visitors today and we ask that those who have had a chance to visit, please gives others that chance as well. We also ask that if you have had the opportunity to visit, that you kindly allow space for the other families by meeting in the downstairs lobbies. We are happy to keep updating you as the day progresses but we again very much appreciate all of your patience. Thank you again and God bless!
BELIEVE,

Good Morning...
Again, we thank you for your patience in trying to have some time with Renee. She has touched the lives of many and we are doing our best to be sure that everyone has a moment with her.
We kindly ask that when you visit, please take a few minutes to laugh with Renee, tell her you love her, share a funny story, or just sit in silence with her. There are quite a few people that would like to have a moment like this today...and we want to give everyone an opportunity to have that moment.
Please no visitors from 11 to 12:30 today. (Saturday)
In an effort to help with crowd control and with all due respect to the other families that are coping with illness in their own families, we ask that you leave the ICU floor once you have had that priceless moment with our beautiful girl.
BELIEVE,
Audrey, Sabrina & Abby

Renee looks so beautiful today (as always). We had a day of beauty yesterday. I shaved her head, gave her a pedicure and we even have her in a BELIEVE shirt.
We are having another benefit for Renee at Round Table Pizza in Huntington Beach (Beach/Adams) at 7pm on Tuesday (2/9). We will have BELIEVE t-shirts and 10% of the proceeds will go to Renee.
On the lighter side...
We have met with Renee's physicians over the past week and we are coming to a point in her fight that her body is very weak. As you are all aware, she has been in ICU for three weeks now and while we have had good days, we have also had a few not-so-good days. Renee has lost much of her muscle strength and the side effects from this happening are wearing on her daily.
There are a few risks that are starting to take over and while we know Renee wants to fight, fight, fight...we also know that we want her to be comfortable. Her tenacity and strength is striking, but not surprising to those that know and love her. We are so proud of her endless courage to "kick cancers ass" (as Nae would say).
We are still working with the doctors and nurses to make decisions for the near future. We plan to move Renee to her "psuedo home", where she has been cared for and loved by many.
We appreciate your patience with trying to visit Renee. We will do our best to get everyone in. Thank you for continuing to BELIEVE in our angel.
