Dearest Diane, A loving mother, daughter, sister and grandmother. The voice we love is stilled, to lose you leaves such an ache and sorrow that takes my breath away. The role of motherhood brought the greatest joy and honour to you, the tenderness and loving ways you patiently shared. A passionate cook and love of gardening always brought a smile to your face and your strength to help everyone to build their confidence, courage and faith, with your knowledge and insightful ways. In life you were loved dearly and will always remain, you are held close within my heart, all the cherished moments together, to walk with me throughout my life until we meet again.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
