Words can not express or begin to explain the love that Ms Diane has shown to so many people. I had the pleasure of being graced with her presence through my husband her barber. Ms. Diane was like a mother to so many people who she came in contact with. She will truly be missed by so many people. My deepest sympathy goes to her family. Please cling to the unchanging hands of God who will keep you and strengthen you!!! Ms Diane I know you still got my back!!!!!! I will always smile and remember you eveytime I hear that saying.
