May the LORD bless you and keep you, may He make His face to shine upon you, May He be gracious unto you, and give you peace. In this time where your heart breaks and the tears flow, when the time seems dark, turn and snuggle into Poppa-God's arms, for He has pulled you into His arms and close to His heart. He hears. He heals. He loves. He is there. Trust Him.
Love,

My loving wife Diane. How do I go on without you?
You have always been by my side to guide me, to nurture me.
You showed me what love really is.
I wish that I was able to take away your pain.
I wish I could have heal you.
I wish I could bring to comfort.
I know your biggest fear was that when you passed that you would not be going to heaven. That your soul was broken.
I know you are the purest of souls.
I know you are kind and giving.
I know you are in heaven.
I know you have your wings.
You are an angle.
Look over us and protect us as you did when you were here on earth.
You no longer have to fear.
I hope you are now at peace.
I just want to be with you. But until that day, shine your light on us and keep us all safe.
I will miss you dearly. My one and only love Diane.
Your loving husband forever and ever.
Sandy.
Diane, although I knew you the least, of everyone in my family, you were one of the dearest friends we could ever ask for. You were sweet, sassy, kind, and strong. I'll miss those stories you'd tell my family, when you came to get your nails done, and the jokes you'd pull on Reefe and Reilly. You will always live on, in our hearts. Thank you, and may God bless you, from Natalie, Jessica, Patricia, Charlie, Kim, and Andy Phan.
Although we have lost Diane, she will always remain in our hearts. She was so generous, loving, and beautiful. Rest in peace Diane. We want to extend our deepest condolences to Sandy, Reilly, and Reefe.
A few years ago, when Diane learned that I was in kidney failure, she made a point of reaching out to me to ask about potential organ donation. I was overwhelmed. And while it turned out that her help wasn’t needed, I always believed it was good fortune that my kidney transplant happened on Diane’s birthday. Diane will always be on my list of ‘angels’, and now she is among them.
Sandy, Pauline and I want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids, and we hope that you all will eventually have some peace.

May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends.
Mark family dinner memory:
Diane savouring the excellent “beef rub” flavour on the bone of a prime rib roast.
Another night enjoying homemade apple crisp over ice cream with chocolate drizzle. Each of us has our own specific memory. Remember them fondly, as they will bring joy and comfort to each of us.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and the family always. May you all in time, find peace within yourselves as Diane has now.
