I appreciate everyone who braved the cold last night to honor her at the candlelight vigil. As we seek justice for her, let’s continue to honor her memory and example and hold her, her children, wife, and loved ones, and the communities and city she loved in our thoughts and hearts.

She loved to sing. She loved her children. And she loved her community enough to stand up for its most vulnerable members.

A shocking act of violence took Renee from us too soon.

That’s who our neighbor Renee was. And yet now, officials at the highest levels of our national government have launched a despicable campaign to vilify her and gaslight us into believing she was anyone other than the loving person her neighbors and family knew her to be.

Renee was a wife and mother whose family now has to find a way to carry on without her. She was a poet with words left to share that we won’t get to hear. She was a kind, caring member of her community — a neighbor who believed in protecting her neighbors.
