Diane was the sweetest woman I ever knew---she could lift your spirits with just a few words. What a loving heart she had and I will miss her forever. I am thankful that she is peaceful now in the arms of the Lord and will never have to suffer any more pain. She was a wonderful mother, daughter, grandmother and friend. Diane, I will always miss you and love you.
