Diana was my neighbor and I loved as if she was my very own family. Every morning we would speak and head out to work. I am a nurse and I always enjoy her wonderful smile and enthusiasm. She had a glow like none other her love for everyone brought comfort to all that knew her. We love and miss her so much and she will always have a special place in my heart. Take care my angel until we meet again in heaven.

My dear sister I love & miss you so much. I can't imagine life without you. Here are some scriptures to comfort others. (Genesis 2:16, 17) 16 God also gave this command to the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.” Romans 5:12 through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men … (Romans 6:7) 7 For the one who has died has been acquitted from his sin. (No longer guilty of sin.) (1 Corinthians 15:26) 26 And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. . . Matthew 24:14 14 And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 37:11 “The wicked one will be no more . . . But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, Revelation 21 . 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away (John 5:28, 29) Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out (Matthew 9:24, 25) . . . for the little girl did not die but is sleeping.” At this they began to laugh at him scornfully. 25 As soon as the crowd had been sent outside, he went in and took hold of her hand, and the little girl got up. . . (This shows that those who have died are only sleeping waiting to wake up again & enjoy the company of family & friends) (John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ …
