My condolences to all the family.
By the way, I lived in Grand Coteau for 4 years when I was in the Jesuits at St. Charles College. A beautiful place with many stately live oaks.
May Diane rest in Peace with Jesus.

Ms Diane never tired of me asking whats the name of this plant? She loved her garden her bat faced perennials and her little frogs. Family was her love. She sent me on Christmas Eve to buy some gold fish so her grandchildren could see them. My prayers and condolence to Doc and family. Her gardener and friend Ken Perere

A Mother's Love

A mother's love is most divine;
in many ways it's different than mine.

She loves us near, she loves us far;
she loves us no matter who we are.

It's love like her's that will always be, within our souls for entity; within her children and grandchildren you'll see. Just glance into their eyes, and she will be; in our hearts for all to see.

And yet at night when the stars are bright; I'll say a prayer for her tonight.

by Barbara Collins, Much Love always
