Diane was one of the finest women that I had the pleasure to know. She loved her family fiercely and without condition. Her bravery and her attitude throughout her illness never wavered. She was very much loved and will sorely be missed. Rest in peace my friend

Tom, (and family)
I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss to your family. I have not seen you for years and not sure if you remember me by name but I knew you and your brothers from the L & K in Kent. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and know that you and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers for many weeks ahead. May God wrap His loving arms around each and every one of you and comfort you as only He can.
