Our hearts go out to the Abbott family. I remember as a young child going over to the Abbott's for dinner and watching movies. My brother Lance went to school with Cheryl. We lost our mom 2 years ago, and the hurt never goes away. Your mom will be watching over you and that is a good thing to remember. Love Linda Dabrowski Balthis

Diane Abbott was a one-of-a-kind. She loved her family immensely, and she showed it every day of her life. She always made us feel welcome in her home, and we will never forget her.
