On the morning of July 6, 2006, 3 days after her 42nd birthday, Renee was tragically murdered by her ex-boyfriend. The man who once said he loved her was the same man who had cut her throat from ear to ear. The only thing she wanted to do that morning was go grocery shopping. Never did Renee think that he would be waiting outside of her own house just so he could end her life. She didn’t have a fighting chance.

Renee was a mother, grandmother, godmother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, friend, and so much more to many people. She loved kids and enjoyed cooking as well as having a good time. The loss of Renee would forever change the lives of her children, family members, friends, and everyone she came in contact with. This grievous loss led to a strong determination of her family to keep her legacy alive.

With the support of the Cathedral International, this foundation was created and established by Renee’s son, Siyan Bradley. This organization is intended to honor Renee’s life and legacy by actively engaging people to stop domestic violence through awareness programs on prevention and education.
