Although I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Diane personally, I did have a chance to know of her through her loving daughter, Donna. The bond and love they shared was priceless. The love, sacrificial and loyal commitment that Diane shared with her loving husband is rare, endearing and will be a lasting example for many. I was greatly impacted by it and I only knew of them briefly. She must have been truly amazing! May the God of peace bring comfort to this beautiful, loving family during this very difficult time.
