Diane was my first cousin. She was smart, sweet, and caring. I am thinking of her family and friends.
Growing up as Johnson Family first cousins included laughter and. Holiday gatherings.
May God hold you near.

My most heartfelt condolences go out to the family and close friends of Diane's. She was such a sweet and caring woman that I only had the honor of knowing a short time. Even though I only had a small part in Diane’s last days I hope that I brought her some comfort in the time we did spend together. Diane was much more than a client to me, she was my friend, and I am so grateful she is now resting peacefully with our lord almighty.
