My prayers go out to you all. Diana, I will always remember how welcoming your parents were to me as a teenager. They were both so great at having a lot of us there for parties, so we were safe. Know that your mom is in a better place and you will be reunited some day.
Love, Sandi (Hahn) Becker

Mom, you and I have been through a lot together. It was not always easy but we survived. Then you found dad, things started looking up. You & Dad have been responsible for contributing to the person I have become as well as the influence I have made on my family and friends. You have always put your entire faith in me & told me I could achieve anything I set my mind to. We have not always seen eye to eye but we always trusted each other. They say that God does not give us more than we can bare and I am truly trying to hold this together even though at times it would be much easier to walk away. I thank you for all your guidance, words of wisdom, and the love you have given me all my life. You can now spend that time with Dad that you deserve after all these years. All my love!

Mom, It's so hard knowing that your not coming back home this time. I took care of you since your stroke back in October of 2008. I don't regret any of it, not for one moment even though there were really rough and stressful times. You did so much for me and I can never repay you for any of it. Helping to care for you was my way of trying to. I know your at peace now and with Dad finally. Please tell him that I love him and miss him dearly. Please see that you and Dad both watch over all of us. Dianna and Bob, and their families. Plus Caitlin and her unborn daughter. Caitlin so wanted you to be able to be around to see the baby when she was born. She realizes now that your in a better place and will be there to watch over us all. Please remember I Love You and always will. Love Your Daughter, Debbie

From a place high above,
Where angels float in the sky,
To the very ground I walk on,
My Nanna watches over me,
Every step I take,
Leading me in the right direction,
Showing me the way.
Even though I know that she is in my heart,
I wish she could be here watching me,
As I develop into a mother.
But now her spirit is with me,
And I know she’s living a better life,
Sleeping with the angels,
In her comfy bed at night.

Bob, My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the death of your mom. May the good Lord watch over you and give you strength in the coming days.
