So sorry for your loss. Your Mom was part of the backbone of Edmond as it grew. Her strength benefited those she met and many others because she was a model of kindness in Edmond.
Dianne was a true beauty and a wonderful friend. We met in high school and remained friends. She was a gift to her friends and family. May God bless her family with the wonderful memories they share and keep their memories alive. Jeannie
Rest assured that she is now in the hands of the Lord with her beloved Mark.
Leah and Family,
I’ve been there done that. I do know how much she loved you all and I know the sentiment was returned to her.
I’m so so sorry for your loss. It won’t be the same at the holidays but do know that you’ve got a new angel waiting on you. She’s watching over you. I’ll put your family on my prayer list at church. We’ll be praying for you.
