My loving Diana
Diana and I had a great life together. It was filled with many many years of joy, sadness, stress and love.
Over the years Diana and I have come to know life as its ment to be. We are blessed with three great kids who have provided us with more memories than one can share.
We started our lifes journey together in Colorado ending up in Marion Iowa. We had many stops inbetween as my job took me to many great places to enjoy life together. This traveling gave us the chance to build strength in our lives and love in our hearts.
One never knows how much you will miss someone until they are gone forever. I am lucky I have Diana in my Heart and know she will never be forgoten.
Her life lives with her granddaughter Katelynn for whom she gave and thought the world of. I beleive Diana in her great wisdom gave the biggest part of her life to Katelynn.
Diana you will be missed but never forgotten
your loving husband and friend
Craig
Dear Craig,Shelly & Katelynn,
A number years ago we met a
couple we immediately knew they were going to be forever
friends. Diana was so very
special and will always remain that way in our hearts. We dearly love her
and she will be so missed. It was an honor to have Diana
in our lives and her sweet family. Love Larry and Rita
Shelly,
I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about your mom. I know you were quite stressed out, for good reason, when your mom went to Hospice, but had some hope when she turned around a bit. Prayers go out to you and your family and just remember she has gone to a better place with God. She can rest in peace now. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call. I will be thinking of you!!
Craig, Shelly, and Katelynn
Our special family – Diana’s smile, laughter, wisdom, and strength will stay in our hearts always. Now she is at peace watching over us helping to guide and protect us. She was a great woman, friend, wife, mother, and grandmother. She will be missed but never forgotten.
I am daughter of James T. Drummond one of Diana’s brothers who preceded her in death . My deepest sympathy to her family.
