Momma Diane, even though you have gone, you are not forgotten. You may have left this world, but you will never leave our hearts, or our thoughts. You can been seen through your children, and grandchildren. You didn't have too, but you chose to embraced a bunch of motherless Missouri girls as your own. I am humbled, and privileged to know you and your family over the past 20 years. You've seen me through sickness, divorce, and the loss of loved ones. I will never forget your kindness and words of wisdom over the years... after all you are Momma.. doing what Momma's do. So go, rest, play cards, and enjoy your time with Darla, Trish, and Gretchen, as she to will be waiting at heavens gate, with her tennis ball by the end of the day. (FYI, make sure that she puts the ball on the tennis racket for you, or she'll make you chase the damn thing. lol) Until I see you again... your loving Missouri Daughter Cheryl.
