Diane Williams was our mom and best friend. Words will never be enough to express the impact she has had on our lives and on the lives of those she touched daily. She was passionate about everything - her family, her life and her work. On Wednesday, May 20, 2020, Diane lost her 7-year battle with colon cancer. She fought till the very end. We will forever be thankful for her presence in our lives, and have faith that she will continue to be part of all that we do. She is watching over us; she is all around us and she will remain in our hearts indefinitely. Her memory will continue to live on in those she held closest - her children (Michael, Drew and Amanda) and her grandchildren (Spencer and Elijah).
Our family will not be holding a memorial/funeral in the traditional sense; our mom did not want this. Instead, we will be holding a private burial-at-sea in Fort Lauderdale, Fl, her home for over 25 years. We will spread her ashes in the ocean as living in FL, the beach was one of her absolute favorite places.
Diane wished that in lieu of flowers/gifts, donations of any
size be considered in an effort to continue funding colon cancer research and
also to help those currently fighting the disease.
