Kim,
The one time I had the pleasure of meeting your mom was at the Italian Festival, and I remember how she knocked on the door to her old house to get a tour from the new residents, that was the highlight of my day! Your mom was so bubbly and the way you talk about her, she must have had a truly beautiful soul. She was obviously an amazing mother because she raised a daughter that is so strong, optimistic, and brave. Your mom is shining down on you from Heaven and watching all of your accomplishments. Always remember Kim, Jeremiah 29:11
I love you!
Love, Kim

Kim,
Hearing about your Mom passing away was truly a sad day. I'm so sorry you and your family had to lose your Mom, an amazing woman, at such a young age. I have so many great memories of you and your Mom from our SMS days. She threw the best sleepovers for your birthday! Every year I looked forward for October to roll around because that meant another birthday party! She was such a fun and loving person. I remember her taking us all for a ride in her Eclipse once. She was the coolest! :) You were always a wonderful friend of mine growing up, you must take after your Mom! I'm honored to have known your Mom, such an outstanding woman. If there is anything I can ever do for you, please let me know.

I'll always remember one of the last times you and your mom came over together to babysit the girls. Becca's face just lit up when your mom came through the door.

Kim,
I was devastated to hear about the passing of your mom. A lot of memories of us hanging out and having sleepovers at your house came flooding back. Your mom was a great person. She's now in Heaven looking over you. Keep your chin up and stay strong. I miss you!

I'd like to dedicate the song "Wind Beneath My Wings," by Bette Midler to the bestest mother in the whole world...

I love you mommy and I miss you so much you will be in my heart always.Mom, it might have appeared to go unnoticed,but its all in my heart. I want you to know that I know the truth, I would be nothing without you. Did you know that you are truly my hero and everything I want to be? you truly are my hero and I hope that one day when I have my own children that I can be just half of the mother you were to me<3 I know you're up in heaven now and I know it's not goodbye, its just see ya later, and I cannot wait until the day we meet again. I hope I will continue to make you proud as I continue on with my life, and God willing, I hope that I can be just as great of a nurse that you were...I love you and I miss you SOOOOOOOOOO much and I will never EVER forget you, you will be in my heart forever, and until we meet again, I love you Mommy

Ijust found out about your Mom and wanted to say how sorry Iam for your loss. I know what you are going thru as even after 9 years I still miss her but I do think they can hear us when we talk to them which gives me a peaceful feeling just to share my thoughts with my mom. I will keep you in my prayers and please stop over to see me if you ever need a break from the men (your dad and his roomie).

this poem is dedicated to Diana from her older brother Rick BROKEN CHAIN by Ron Tramner
We little knew that morning
God was calling your name
In life we loved you
In death we do the same
It broke our heart to loose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
You left us peacful memories
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you
You are always at our side
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will be linked again.

I will always remember Diana as one of the nicest of my sister, Kathy's friends. She was never annoyed with me when I followed them around or told their secrets or worse. I can still see her sitting at my kitchen table laughing.
Robbie, Robert, Kimberly and Rick -
My family wishes to extend our sincere condolences. She was to young to leave us.

With Love,
Rosanna and family
