My dear sweet sister and true best friend. I miss you more than I can put into words. Our late night and early morning talks. Sharing what was only meant for sisters. Your kindness and love for others was so intense and felt by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. Your memory will live on forever. I will never forget your beautiful face. I love and miss you so much.

This is just to say I am thinking about you so much this morning with a heavy heart. I miss you Pic more than words can ever express. It's crazy how we have to go about our daily routines as though they are mittens when they're everything but that. Things will never be the same, if you and I didn't talk seven days a week sis it was six without question. Just know your in my everyday thoughts and I will always be broken without you. If only love could have kept you well. Continue watching over the family beautiful angel and know one day we will all be reunited. Missing my baby sister

Your death has forever changed our lives but we push forward knowing that one day we will be together again. Your smile and laughter lives on in your grandchildren as they are constantly reminded how much mom mom loved them. I can't ssh much more because of flowing years but know a party of my heart went with you. I love and miss you way more than words can say. Fly high sweet beautiful angel you'll always be with us.

My dearest sister somehow everytime I try to write on here I stop because it just seems so final. I miss you more with every passing day but I know that we will be together again,I know you are free from your struggles and pain and I also know you are with me every waking moment. I will listen when the wind blows to hear your whisper in my ear or in the bright sunshine to see your smile. I'll try and catch a glimps of you when I see a butterfly land or a beautiful flower bloom...that's how your smile was,that's how your laughter was,it was bright and beautiful,it was colorful and magical... My God how this hurts to write on here to you. You will forever be in my heart and in my conversations,I will never let you be forgotten. I love and miss you so much. Rest easy my sweet and beautiful baby sister you ran the race with grace and dignity and you were rewarded with everlasting life. I love you forever sis. Lisa

There were no flowers there .the deer ate them LOL.I was almost mad then I rem how much you would enjoy seeing the deer.I could hear you say Nita it's ok they're hungry let them eat.You were so unique and had some peculiar ways.I would have to laugh at you sometimes without you knowing it. That's you one of a kind.A loving sweet gentle soul with a heart of gold.You kept us FAMILYSTRONG and that we will remain as we carry on your legacy of loving and giving. You will always be amazing to me. Your courage and faith is beyond measure.i love you and miss you so much. ALWAYS IN MY HEART

Our family joins yours, as well as all who knew Pickle, in prayers for strength and comfort in this very sad and difficult time. As a child, i (Carmen), lived a few doors down from Pickle & her family, in Cumberland Gardens. When I think of her, I can see her smiling in my mind. This is how I will remember her, because I don't think I've ever saw her not... And the stories/updates my sister Shirley would give me; telling me how inspired & determined she was, to funny things she did or said & their moments together... She WAS an inspiration! Wish we could be there in person.. Bro Joe, please don't forget, if you or the family need anything, don't hesitate to call, we're always here. Sending our love, thoughts & prayers from Florida, to yours. Rest in Peace, dear Diane "Pickle". We love you.

My dear sister,woman of strong faith and courage,you will never know how much I will miss you.My life will never be the same.i won't hear your voice when I talk to you but I pray for a sign from heaven that you are you are near. There was so much more I wanted to do with you.We had plans but your father who loves you so much more had other plans.I know that you are embraced in the arms of Jesus.I know there is no more pain,the pain you refused to let anyone one else feel,you carried it by yourself,you were surely a soldier in Gods army.Now you are free,your smile is a brighter light in heaven.I am so sad to see you go ,the thought of you not being here breaks my heart.I always told you I wish I could be strong like you,I ask you to give me the strength I will need to carry on daily as I know you would want.I thank you Pickle for enriching my life with your love,the love you so freely shared with others.Im thankful for the beautiful memories we made together,the cruise WOW did we ever think we would do it? Well we did and it was great,the movies,Greatwolfe Lodge with my girls,grand kids,and your Iyla Bop,the shopping adventures !! You were a pro Pickle,no one I know could find a bargin like you.I will be consulting with you when I venture through Khols and The Bon Ton.I love you Pickle to the moon and beyond and you will always live in my heart forever.
