To Our Mother

Although our lives' journeys

Have bid us apart,

I am with you, you are with me,

Always in our Hearts.

Love, your children

To Tina, Tammy, G.W., Leona, & Jason; Your Mother, Diane, shared with me countless times her deep love for all of you. The phone calls and visits were truly a great comfort to her heart. I absolutely loved everything about Diane's character...she had a fun loving side to her as well as a serious side (only when she had to be). She had a heart of gold...giving when someone was in need although she never had much herself. I will miss her laughter and how she had the ability to make me laugh uncontrollably! I will truly miss you, Diane... until we meet again...rest in peace my dear sister. Your sister, Judy.
