    Awwww! Precious Diane. She was such a good grandma. Russ and she came to so many games to support them all. Russ, Greg and I are so very sorry for your loss and happy that you had so many great years together. She was cherished.

    So sorry for your loss Russ, Kim and Lynda. God will help you get through your grieving process though. There were so many good times when we were growing up that I was remembering after I received the news of Diane. I just had to smile in remembrance. The many shopping trips with all us girls, or the New Year’s Eves and many other times. I still have the Nativity set Diane made us right around our wedding time. I guard it with care and so far not one piece has been broken. Diane will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
