It was your smile and your compassion for others, that we shall miss. Despite the fact that Diane had health issues, the lord gave her strength to take care of others. I never heard her mumble nor did I hear her complain,she simply did what she had to do. Trina, and Aunt Molene, may the lord give you peace and strength as you lay your loved one to rest.
