Diane's sweet spirit will forever be a golden thread woven through the tapestry of our families' life and times.  
Shine on Brightly, dearest cousin and friend. Thank you for decorating our lives. 

I would like to share my memories of Diane.  She was such a kind and caring person.  She always had a smile and kind word to say, as I worked at the Credit Union with her.  If I met her in the hallway she always spoke to me and asked about my son Robbie and his family.  He worked in the same department with her and she would tell about all his “antics” that kept her laughing.  She had a great sense of humor, as he did.  Always thinking about the “other” person.  She was a very “special lady” …full of love and kindness.  

2 Timothy 4;7-8
“I have fought a good fight,  I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only,but unto all them also that love his appearing.”

Rest In Peace Diane  ❤️ 

There are so many great memories of Diane: her watching the critters come to eat on the back deck, her love for all the dogs she and Billy raised, her laughing without making a sound, and always telling it like it is. She said she 
 didn't feel like an inspiration, but she inspired so many by her faith, determination, and positivity throughout her long battle with cancer. The world is a much duller place without her, but Heaven now shines a lot brighter. May God comfort and strengthen Billy, Nannette, Martha and her family and friends as we mourn her loss, and celebrate a life well lived. 

As long i been knowing Diane and Billy Ray you have always been a sweet and pleasure lady to talk to. Your smile say it all. RIP my friend until we see each other again. Billy I m sending my prayers and love to you.

Will always treasure the memories with you knitting ,weeding the day lillies ,making Christmas cookies and your laugh. Love you
