Not sure what to say?





You told me several years ago God doesn't give you more than you can handle, but you wished He didn't give you so much. I think God decided you'd handled enough, more than most should in a fair world, and you were due some peace. May you rest in God's hands now, lovely lady.

Diana was one of the first people I met at Lanier because I had just moved to Texas and she was quick to introduce herself. I loved her sense of humor and her passion for performing --- she had such a spark! She will be missed by all who loved her.

Diana, what a kind and fun soul you were! I had no idea you were sick and I am so sorry to learn of your passing. I wouldve loved to have seen you, visited with you, reminisced and prayed for you. I will remember your fun spirit and great smile. The last time I saw you, you were exiting Camp Mabry in your wedding gown, I just happened to be driving by at that moment! Until we meet again my friend, Love, Julee King-Pollock
