Renners Family
Dear Belan Family, We are so truly sorry to hear about Mr. B, and we are compelled to write you a note to tell you what he meant to us and so many others. We feel so fortunate to have known Mr. B and been able to spend many fabulous holidays and special occasions with him. He was such a wonderful and caring personality, and his passion for life and his family came through in everything that he did. He helped to positively impact the trajectory and attitude of everyone around him and was beloved by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him. We also have truly fond memories of watching many sporting events with Mr. B and we always had a fun and fabulous time talking with him about life, sports, and lots of other topics, and he ALWAYS had interesting and useful insight on every topic. The best parents, coaches, and teachers are the ones who ask us the best questions and equip us with the skills, abilities, and confidence to have a useful, fulfilling, and joyful life. Mr. B lived this phrase every day with his family and friends and has helped bring joy and good humor to so many people in his life. Mr. B was an extraordinarily generous, loving, and giving person, and his greatest gift of all was his generosity of spirit. We feel truly blessed to have known him and only wish that we all could have spent more time together. One of my all-time favorite pictures of my Dad is a picture of Brady and I with my Dad and in the background was the phrase \"Never Enough Thyme\", and this also applies to Mr. B so powerfully. Sadly we never have enough time with those people we care about most, though it is always up to us to make the most of every moment and savor those special moments together. One of my all-time favorite photos ever is of Mr. B and my Dad standing together and holding their grandchildren and absolutely beaming with joy and pride. Mr. B lived for his family and this world is a far more loving, better, and joyous place because of Mr. B being here. Please know that we loved and appreciated Mr. B so much and will always cherish the wonderful memories we have with him. My family and I will be praying for you, your family, and sending you all of our positive energy through this difficult time. With love, light, and gratitude, Sue, Jerry, Grace, Brody, and Hope Renners
