Mark,
I am very sorry for your loss, and having gone through a similar pain and loss of my wife a year ago, please feel free to contact me to vent and/or talk. I hope that you can find comfort in the fact that she is no longer in pain, but is enjoying the eternal life with our Saviour.

My Dear Mark and Family,
It is impossible to convey my feelings upon reading the obit for Dianne yesterday afternoon. All this old man could do was in his mind see that beautiful lady and her infectious smile.
In the 20 years that I've known and loved your family, you all have been gracious enough to accept me as "kin", and now all I can do is send you my love, and say surely Heaven must be brighter today with the arrival of our sweet and lovely Dianne.
God Bless each one of you.

I didn't know Diane personally, but I got to see the work of her hands through her husband Mark. Some people live their entire lives and never get to enjoy the life and love Mark and Diane shared with each other and with others. Diane was called to be an encourager to the very end of her life here on earth. Mark recounts how she encouraged him to continue to follow his dream and second love--teaching children. We are here to support you in whatever way we can, Mark and family.
