She had a special way with children and they loved her deeply. She loved her mom and family unconditionally and real hard. Her love for her children and grandchildren was unmatched. She was their Super Hero!.. In her later years, Diane flourished in helping take care of her grandchildren. Thats what made her the happiest.
