Personal Notes:

We love you mom forever in our hearts:

God saw that you were getting tired, a cure not meant to be, so He wrapped His arms around and whispered, "Come with Me".

Our mother enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Sharing her life with them creating new lasting memories for us all...

We Love you mom, we will miss you dearly. Although we won't see your loving smile,you will be with us forever in our hearts.

We Love you,

Janet, Bruce, Jordyn, Matt, Zack, Alyssa, and Noah

I Lost a friend:

Diane was taken away, all to soon our hearts say.

The Lord is good though. He is showing me the things to help me smile.

The pranks we pulled

The walks we took

Even picked blueberries

The talks we had

The sad and glad times

Most of all the laughter. This will stay with me forever after. We four were called "The Golden Girls", Diane, Shirley, Ava, and me, now we are only three.

Define a Friend, the name Diane is in that definition.

Rest in Peace my "FRIEND". I am looking forward our reunion and my journeys to end.

Love you lady,

Katie Loudermilk

Do not stand on my grave and weep:

I am not there, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on the snow, I am the sun on re-opened grain.

I am the gentle Autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine the night.

Do not sstand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die
