Diane's family would like to thank the staff at Heritage Woods Huntley for making her last 3 years as pleasant as possible, Nurse Lisa at Gentiva Hospice for her wise counsel, the clergy at St Mary Huntley for visiting often, and all the friends and family who visited, called, prayed, and sent wishes through her difficult times.
