From the young age of 11 to my present age of 45. I was blessed, honored and grateful for knowing Mrs Diane. I have had tremendous amount of love and respect for this remarkable amazing woman.
This is deeply sad , knowing she is gone to be with her dad and God. I will miss her sweet spirit and loving heart.

I am going to miss you Diana so much. Our cousin reunions just won’t be the same without your big personality. I know you LOVED the Lord and spoke to him daily. Now you are in heaven with him and nothing else matters except the love you have for him.
Miss you big sweet girl!
