Praying that the family feels the presence of the Lord and that you’ll draw strength as you trust him to be your comfort. Diane and I met our freshman year at State, and remained friends until we graduated. I moved back home to ATL. and then to TX. and lost contact w/ so many friends. My children enticed me about 4 or 5 years ago to sign up for Facebook and Dianne was one of the first persons that reached out to me. During these past few years, she and I would occasionally catch up on some of our other classmates. Needless to say, I will miss her.
Until we meet again…
