I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that can take away the sadness we are feeling in our hearts at this time. Diane was the most amazing woman I have ever had the privilege to have met. I consider myself so very blessed to have been a part of her life. I only wish it would have been so much longer and will cherish the day I see her again and be a part of our Heavenley family again, such an amazing woman. She now takes her place in heaven with God, our heavenly father, as one of the most amazing Angels. From the earthly bounds to a heaven with no boundaries.
I’m so heartbroken! Diane was so good to me! She shared her plants and flowers with me ! Everything in my yard came from her! David and family I will be praying for you all for comfort and peace! I’ve prayed for Diane since she was diagnosed! May she rest in peace and forever be in our hearts!
