We are saddened to hear of Diane’s death. She was doing so well. We have great memories of the years we knew her. Her laugh and smile were a delight to all. We send our deepest sympathy to Harold, Dale, Kristen, Lynn and their families. Also to Marcella, Diane’s mother. We know Diane’s passing has left a huge void in your lives. We pray that God will comfort each of you during the days ahead.

We have lived in the same neighood with the Nesensons for 31 years and mostly chatted on the phone or when we would meet on the street. A few years ago we were in Texas for the winter so we and the Nesensons visited each other in our “snowbird” homes and went out to dinner twice. We enjoyed those visits so much.
