Sister Diane will be miss and my prayers goes out to her family and love ones. She had many God children as my daughter Thalida Carter was one of hers, I remember the day she claimed her as her God child. Her smile will be miss. I know that the Family church will celebrated her Home Coming to the King. To the Bereavement, Blessings and Prayers to ALL. GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN…….
Diane will be truly missed. She was my best friend. I’ve been upset since I heard the news. Unable to concentrate on daily activities.My only solace is in knowing she is with God. I thank her mom and dad for sharing her with me since child hood . She was my beautiful, selfless and wonderful sister. She always made me laugh and always encouraged me. Diane, I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you regretfully for the last time. I love you and will truly miss you. We shared birthdays and mine will never be the same.😪 You’re went home much too soon. R.I.P.
Love, Robbicyne
