The widow thanks those who “ensure that Renee’s legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her by living by her values: by rejecting hate and choosing compassion.

According to research by The Washington Post, Good was originally from Colorado Springs and once hosted a podcast with her then-husband, the late comedian Tim Macklin. The aforementioned six-year-old son is said to have emerged from this marriage.
