Keeping your entire family in our Thoughts & Prayers during this very difficult time.
Take Care,
Todd, Lesa, Natasha & Kyle
Please hold this poem near and dear to your hearts and let it help provide you with Strength & Comfort.
WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU
For my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same.
When I must leave you for a little while,
Please go on bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name,
Live on and do all things the same
Spend not your life in empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways-
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near.

Diane had endless amounts of love to give, and it is a great loss to everyone that she is no longer with us. She fought so hard, and was able to touch so many lives through her words and her actions. Diane will never be forgotten, though she will be dearly missed.
I hope Diane finds the peace and comfort she deserves. Life ends, but her love with always be with us.

We are so saddened by the loss of Diane. Her family has lost a precious part of their lives. I first met Diane when she was about 2 years old and she has always been such a bright and cheerful person. She is now smiling down on her family and will forever be the brightest star in the sky. xo
