When Chad and Renee returned from their honeymoon in Mexico, Renee brought me back a bottle of vanilla. I have used the special extract sparingly over the last few years only to use the very last drop a few months ago. I thought of all the fun times I had with Renee – wedding preparations, hiking, happy hours and hilarious, dry humor stories and carefully placed the empty bottle back on the shelf. My husband Kip took a trip to Mexico this January with work. After gifting our two boys with t-shirts and rocks, he handed me a new bottle of vanilla and said it could never replace the one that Renee had given to me, but at least it would bring back good memories of her amazing spirit.
Love,
Laura

I remember Renee stuffing bottle after bottle of this vanilla into her luggage. I still have the one she kept for us and I have the same thoughts as Laura whenever I see it in the cabinet.
