Nathan, you and your family is in our prayers during this difficult time.
Diane always left with “I love you , call me if you need anything”. She was a graceful lady. She will be missed so much.
Used to tell Dianne she’s a true Southern Lady. She lived her life that way. Taking care of her family me now included, wasn’t a job it’s what she wanted.
Such a pleasant spirit that we already miss at Mt. Carmel. She loved the Lord and arrived in the church sanctuary early to take in praise team rehearsals! 🙂
