Happy Birthday Roneé💖✨
Today you would have been 39 years old!♈️
This world is just not the same place without you. Every morning I wake up to the sobering reminder that you’re not here physically. I’m grateful and fortunate to feel your spirit constantly. I recognize how incredibly lucky I am to have grown up inspired by your ferocity and beauty. Today and every day I celebrate you. Thank you for being such an incredible sister. As hard as it is to move on, we always encouraged each other to keep going, so I will. I love you endlessly 🫂✨
After more than a year of fading health, multiple strokes, and unwavering resilience, my beloved Mom has passed away at the age of 79. My Mother only leaves behind my sister Cara and I, as my beautiful sister Ronee passed just months ago. So much of who I am is because of the love and tenacity my mother instilled in me. It’s hard not to resent the timing of life, but when it rains it really does pour. Anyone lucky enough to have met my Mom felt how special she was. An old gal with a youthful spirit, she really did love life deeply and those that were in hers. Nothing in this universe can ever shock me more than what happened to my sister, but this still isn’t easy. At least this time I got to say goodbye. Working so hard to survive truly takes away from the things that really matter most on this earth, which is the people you love.
Love you Mom
It is with utter devastation I reluctantly make public the passing of my gorgeous and incredible sister Roneé Nemechek. She just turned 38 years old April 11th. Words can NEVER capture the beauty, perseverance, and grace my sister walked this earth with. I’ve always strived to walk as fiercely as she did. This loss is insurmountable. I will never be the same person again. The world will never be the same place again. She would be disappointed in me for saying I wish it was me instead, but she deserved to live such a better life and it’s tormenting to know how poorly the world treated her at times. Witnessing her uphill battles is one of the reasons I’ve lost hope and faith in this cruel world. She didn’t lose hope though. She kept fighting for better days and she would want me to do the same. The heart can only break so many times before the shattered pieces are too scattered to piece back together, but for her I will find a way. Roneé, I wish I could tell you one more time how stunning and incredible you are - and let you know of the profound impact you made on so many people. I wish I could feel one more tight hug from you or have one more conversation. Majority of our conversations were interrupted by eruptions of laughter. I’m so grateful to have the sound of your beautiful laugh ingrained in my memory. What spawns the most sorrow is the fact I didn’t get to say Goodbye. So, Until we meet again Sister, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses. 💔🌹✨
