With a new baby at home and unable to travel, she took to the internet to find the perfect gift\u2026one that would be a reminder of the deep love her sister-in-law shared with her father, but at the same time, acknowledge her great loss.<\/p>\n<p>Unable to find such a gift, she took matters into her own hand\u2026 literally. She used some play-doh and designed a teardrop pendant which a local jeweler then cast into silver. Combined with a verse she had written, she finally felt she had the perfect gift.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, demand for the pendant began to grow and The Comfort Company was founded to meet this growing need. By combining her training as a medical social worker with her soft heart for those who are grieving, Renee continues to pursue her mission of providing\u2026 Gifts of Hope for Healing Hearts.<\/p>\n<p>Renee Wood founded The Comfort Company, Inc. in 2000. She is a social worker who lives with her four daughters in Geneva, Illinois. She obtained a Master&#8217;s Degree in Social Work from Florida State University in 1989. Her work experience includes working as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) social worker where she assisted families in dealing with the loss or pending loss of a child. She later worked as a renal social worker, aiding patients with end-stage renal disease.<\/p>\n","url":"http:\/\/www.thecomfortcompany.com\/","url_text":"thecomfortcompany.com","main_services":"Sympathy Gifts , Memorial Jewelry , Memorial Wind Chimes , Memorial Trees , Memorial Garden Stones , Memorial Benches , Memorial Ornaments , Pet Loss Gifts , Memorial Lanterns , Memory Lamps","image_1":"https:\/\/diib.com\/featuredmembers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/comfortcompany2.jpg","client_review":"The ease of use and the clean interface.","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Comfort Company - 5 Star Featured Members<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Comfort Company offers non-traditional sympathy gifts to acknowledge loss.
