I had the privilege of working with Renee for several years. We partnered for one year teaching Level 1 ESL. What a great experience. She was a true professional who made everything fun, both for her students and for me. I miss you, Renee.
All my best,

Renee was a great mentor to me when I joined the OAS a new ELS teacher--her sense of humor and charm were an inspiration to everyone she interacted with!

I informed my wife of your mothers passing and she could not believe that such a wonderful person has gone so soon. I will miss the talks we use to have and her insightful outlook on life and the nature of things. "Oh, how she made it all so clear."
My Wife and I send you our deepest condolences on the passing of a Navy Wife, Mother, and Wonderful Person.

Renee and I would often talk right before class about various subjects and console each other on world events. She was such a warm, friendly woman. Clearly her students thought the world of her. She was a dedicated teacher right up to the very end. You were lucky to have her as a mother.
My deepest sympathies,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Renee.  She was a very special teacher and dearly loved by her students.  It was always a delight to find her in the breakroom before the evening class, especially if Dan was sitting across from her.  They would spar and zing each other, in fun, arguing and teasing each other, and all of us there would leave in the best mood.  She was so knowledgeable about teaching ESL and could be counted on to give information and advice to other teachers.  I am thinking about her and send her dear family my condolences.

It was an honor and pleasure to be Renee's colleague at Oxnard Adult School.  She was very well liked by her students and staff.  She was a consummate professional and wonderful role model.  With a smile, I will always remember the line she would tell her class at the beginning of each semester; "I am a vieja, but don't call me viejita!"

I met Renee when I was a new teacher.  She was so confident and funny and her students loved her.  I wanted to be like her!  She was very kind and always a gracious person.  I learned a lot from her.
Thank you, Renee, for your wonderful spirit.

I was shocked to hear about Renee.  What impressed me the most about her was her dedication to the students and always putting their needs first.  She was not afraid to speak her mind, yet did so with professionalism and courtesy.  I teach Level 4 and she was a hard act to follow; I felt nervous when I knew that a student was coming to my class from Renee's!  She will be remembered by many people, especially her students, who she left a lasting impression on.
Love,
Susan Lopez

I shared a classroom and then worked next door to Renee for several years.  We shared many conversations, both professional and personal.  Not only was she a bright and accomplished woman who worked hard to make the lives of others better, but she was a goodhearted person who identified with her Oxnard Adult School family.  I will fondly remember the Holiday parties when she opened her home so warmly and generously to us all, and gave us a beautiful  place to celebrate.  We'll miss her smile and caring ways!

I loved sharing my ESL classroom with Renee.  For years we left little notes out for each other (I was there in the mornings, and she in the evenings). Her sweet, friendly, encouraging notes always put a smile on my face. And when we actually got to chat face to face, Renee was so fun to be with. Always upbeat, always ready to laugh.  She was a very  genuine person. She taught me a lot about letting things slide and looking at the bright side of life.  Thank you for your friendship, Renee!

I knew what a strong and passionate woman she was, from the moment I joined the OAS team.
She was such a professional but outspoken woman. Renee can make a whole room laugh. No words can describe how much Renee will be missed!
