My heart is broken for this close family and the loss of Diana. She was always there for me. She loved my two daughters like they were her own. She had thoughtful little gifts for them at every holiday and special things for them to see or do when they visited. Diana had a naturally caring nature about her that put other people first. She was protective towards her friends and family. We made lots of great memories and through the highs and the sometimes lows, we are sisters forever. Best friends since junior high at Bingham, thru all of life's journeys and growing pains. I know I will see her again, when my time comes. She'll always be with me.

I have known Diana since high school. We worked together at Hobby Lobby and lived together twice. You were the "fixer". When one of us girl's was broken hearted we came to you. You brushed us off and sent us on our way. No one else had that kind of power. The nights we spent at Joshua'S Lounge ! I miss you so much. The trip to San Diego was a blast. The morning we went looking for the parrots and all we found were cats, such a cat lady. You put up a hell of a fight girlie. Until I see you again, I will carry you in my heart always.

To the family of Diana Bradshaw. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful friend lady. She fought the big fight. She had a smile that lit up every room. I am so glad we had some great times together before her diagnosis during & end. She always had a smile for me. We even watched a Charlie Brown movie & talked thru it. We caught up on a lot of fun times we've had & not so fun times. We laughed, we cried. She was the best person & friend to talk to besides my other bestie Linda Wiseman-Goebel. We have gone thru a lot but Thank God she is not suffering anymore. She is an Angel in heaven now. We all have a Guardian Angel. She is gone but not forgotten. God Bless her mom Judy for her unconditional love for her daughter. Cherish the memories. Rest in Peace Diana! Love you! We all need to stay in touch, as we know Diana's was cut short due to the horrible ALS. Let's help find a cure so nobody has to suffer like Diana & Mark Peeler.
