    I was 11 years old when Diane married my brother. She has been a wonderful sister to me all these years, and I thank God for bringing her to be in our family. I enjoyed Diane's quick wit and sense of humor, and her deep love for the people in her life. Sending love to and saying prayers for all of Diane's family and friends.

    On the 8th of November my first daughter in law went to be with God. It's hard to be away, and I am so sorry not to have had more time with her. I thank and praise God for the time he did give me with her.The time recently she called me to thank me for the flowers and told me, she loved me too.My son went on to be with the Lord before her, but I am so thankful God brought them together, she was so wonderful for him. Always supporting and encouraging him. Working with him in every project, even the ones that didn't work out. He could always rely on her!I am so proud of how she worked so hard to support and be with her family when they needed her.She was Special! I love and miss her, but am so thankful she knew the Lord!Mom, her mother in law(Dictated by grandma through Carl Tomlinson)
