Nina and Ron, I'm so sorry to hear about Diana. Nina I pray you'll find comfort and strength to move through each day with all the wonderful memories you have made together. Your mom had a kind gentle spirit and no matter the rough days, she still had kindness coming from her heart. I'll always treasure and hold the memories of what was....
