Our love for you will never die,
We hold your Sparkle our eye.
I know you remember a little of the past,
But the present went by way too fast.
Through out the Radiation, Chemo & the pill,
You still smiled and had such a strong will.
Your attitude is what carried you on,
Without it I don’t think you would of lasted this long.
All the time we spent together,
They are locked within our hearts,
For as long as we have those memories,
We will never feel apart.
Even though we cannot speak,
Our voice is always there.
Because every night before we sleep,
We have you in our prayers.
Life wasn’t easy by choice or fate,
A decision made sometimes too late.
A fight to the finish, always strong,
Rest easy my friend your finally home.
Now I know your spirit is always with us,
So now I guess this is our last goodbye.
I have been told that time heals all wounds,
That someday the pain shall subside.
Although your work on earth is done,
Your life in heaven has just begun.
We will always remember when the lord took you away,
And we shall see you yet another day.
But until he is able to bring us together
You shall remain in all of our hearts forever.

Lew and Family: I was very sad to hear about Diane's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I will not be able to attend the wake or service so I wanted to send my sympathies. I will miss Diane telling Ginger to be quiet when all the big trucks or a dog goes by on Beaconsfield Rd.

I always enjoyed talking with Diane about her travels to Florida and camping, when I needed to mail packages here at WPI. She was always very nice.

Lew and family,
We at WPI Administrative Services were very fortunate to have had Diane with us for so many years. Two things come to mind -- how much she loved to be at and talk bout your camping weekends. -- and how about the fun we used to have at Wrights Chicken Farm??
My sincerest sympathy to you and your family,
Ann
