Raising up prayers of comfort for the entire family. It was always a joy to hear Diahn speak of you all during our years working together. I know you will miss her terribly, but the love she had for you all will never die. God Bless.

Diahn was the only person on this planet, besides my sis Gi, who could call me Booga and get away with it! :) Diahn and my wife became close friends as they were battling these chronic illnesses together. She was such a great friend to her and I will always love her for that. RIP my friend.
