Dear Michelle, Lauren and Komatsu family,
I extend my deepest sympathy to you both, your father, and extended family on the passing of your mother. When you both studied piano, I always admired that she drove such a distance! I know she was proud of your advancement too! Someday, you will be taking your children for piano lessons (maybe closer to home). After my mother died, I have prayed to her every night. It is comforting for me to discuss things with her. May God bless you and keep you all in His care. Love always, Mrs. B (Bruning)

Auntie Billie, Warren, Gary, Michelle, Lauren, and Jeannie,
Diane is such a great person. It is hard to believe her passing. It seems that just a little while ago we were all young and gathering at the farm.
I will remember her as a quiet and sweet person. Things that happen in life are beyond are understanding. It seems she should have had much more years.
We pray for your comfort. We know because of Jesus we will see her in heaven with Uncle Soon, Uncle Jack, Uncle Harry, my dad, Greg and other that have went before us.
Our love always,
Marshall, Jeanette and Mark

To the Komatsu Family,
I was saddened to see Diane's obituary. I really enjoyed meeting her and your family and know that you were all very close and supportive of each other. I never hear what happens after someone stops coming for chemo but now her suffering is over and she is at peace.
May God comfort each of you in the days to come.
