Dear Welvang Family: My deepest sympathies to all of you. I have know Diane for 30 years having met her through my mother-in-law, Nancy Kuettel. I shared weekends with her at the Girls' Weekend gatherings at Nancy's cabin and saw her often at Mass at Saint Agnes.

She is truly an angel. May God bless you all.

Peace and Love, Laura Kuettel

Dear Mrs. Welvang,

I watched you and Mr. Welvang at the Religious Tradeshows when I first started my business - with admiration. You worked side by side next to your husband, run a solid company, raised wonderful children, and you set a good example for others to follow. Thank you for your encouragement and support when I needed it the most.

May you rest in peace.
