There are no words I could find or come to mind to express ALL the things I want to say ... Mrs Dean I will miss you I love you you have been a huge part of my life for 35 years  - but I need to say to my TWIN my Pea to my Pod - Mrs Dean would always say we were 2 peas in a pod she is right - here it goes.  My darling dearest Tracie Michael Matt Sarah Payton Carter, know this - Mom, Grandma, Diane to say those loving words and she will come always be there to play her role as your guardian angel. You couldn't have a better angel by your side.  I am deeply sorry for your loss nothing can prepare you of this void but what I do believe is that your love will help you through this journey - BELIEVE she is forever with you until you meet again in gates of paradise. My deepest heartfelt sympathies - My best friend in the whole world I will forever be by your and your families side in 35 years of every journey we have shared side by side this is by far the most difficult. But know I will have my arms open my ears to bend my shoulder to lean on FOREVER till the end.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Thinking of you at this difficult time and remembering all of the wonderful times with Peter and Diane on Timbermill.

This is to one of the most loving , caring and beautiful woman known as "Lady Diane" . I got to realize this was her nick name ,I soon got to realize why , she is a wonderful lady .Tracie and I have spent the last couple years together with her and the family  and Diane has always been a very big part of our  lives, but during this time I was fortunate enough to have spent time talking , bickering or maybe just enjoying her wonderful competitness in either euchre or out talking each other , either way I'LL MISS HER FOR EVER AND I NO SHE IS LOOKING DOWN MAKING SURE THAT I DON'T TAKE TO LONG PLAYING EUCHRE! Lol . I love you girl and I will always be thinking about your wonderful smile and how effectionate you have been to Me and especially others.This I know from the so many wonderful family and friends I've met since I got to love you girl .Forever in my heart love Al .....xoxoxo. PS I planted those Stella Dora's in the garden for you so make sure I'm not over watering them on you .....

Goodbye my sweet mother. I miss you so much already. You are my angel and will forever be with us all. Thank you for always loving me and guiding me through times of good and bad. You have taught me how to be the mother and person I am.  You will be missed dearly but never forgotten.  I love you !!!!! Xoxo

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

We will think of you often Diane. You were a fabulous neighbour and friend. We all had a good laugh when Ryan called you Peter's mother. You must have been a special person for Ryan always wanting to play with you! We are so glad to have met you and thanks for making our life a wonderful treasure with your friendship.
Love always,

Dave and Ann oxox
