I've heard so many wonderful things about Diane from Samantha. That she was fun, funny, and firm in her beliefs. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Sending prayers.

Many hugs and prayers to your family. Diane was a secretary for our son Chuck at Grace Church before his death. May God give you all comfort, strength, and Faith that she is with Jesus and her husband in Heaven.

Diane,
What a special and wonderful Mother in Law you have been for me.
You could be both soft as rainfall, and tough as nails, and I appreciated both.
In a country that has become increasingly wishy washy, with so many afraid to take a stand or position on something, I (and pretty much everyone else) always knew the things you stood for, and how you felt.
You were never ashamed of your beliefs, and you would always speak your mind.
You were always 100% genuine. And that is increasingly difficult to find in people these days.
You were one of the strongest women ever, in my life.
Thank you for sharing your faith so freely with me. Thank you for sharing your perspective so freely with me. It was always thought provoking!
Thank you for being so involved in our kids lives, and always wanting the best for them, and Jennifer & I.
Right now, there is tremendous grief that you are no longer with us in the flesh.
But you have raised a strong family, and the grief will be replaced with joyful memories and enduring love in our hearts (including mine) that will never die!
Love Eric
