Denny & Family,
I just could not believe it when you told me about Diane this morning. I just wanted to hug you so tight and with this quarantine going on I did not want to make you sick. I don't have it but, I did not want to take a chance at you getting any germs. As soon as this thing lifts if our lives ever get better I will be right over. I just feel bad because I have had so many hospital issues and being sick myself and I talk to her A few times. But it was not recently. Your family has always been wonderful to my family. You both were like my parents to me. I could not have stood it if I had to see her sick anymore. I have so many issues with my health I can't begin to describe. But just know that I love you all and my heart is with her and you guys always. I loved her dearly. You guys were like my family. At least take peace knowing that she is nit hurting any longer and she has been taken by the Lord to be a Beautiful Angel. It just seems like yesterday we were all together. I have cried so much today of this I ask myself why does God take the good ones! I pray that the Lord keeps his hands over the rest of the family and keeps you safe. As soon as this is all over I will be over. I love you all remember that. My health is failing too but I pray that Denise, Jared and the girls continue to take care of you Denny! I loved the both of you so much please remember that.my deepest sympathy to you all. Diane Rest In Peace and know that I will see you again someday. My deepest Sympathy to the entire family. You will Always be in my heart Love you Much,

Diane was always the sunshine when we had gatherings. She was one of the most happy, positive people I have ever met and I feel blessed to have known her and the family. I know she is now free from the earthly illnesses and with many of our other dear friends that have gone to a better place and will always be near and dear to our hearts. Our prayers to you and the family in these very hard times.
