Diane was married for 35 yrs. before her husband Rick passed away 8 yrs ago. It changed her life. Living with Nathan and Lexi was good, she was happy to be with the girls, her great granddaughters. And Lexi was there to help her out.  When she decided to move on her own, she got in a high rise. The last 2 yrs. have been awful for her, in and out of the hospital.  Well things started going downhill.....I never even thought it was your time yet, you always pulled through, you are such a brave and strong woman. Well....not this time . I will always keep you with me my sista,

I love you and miss you so much
