    I am so very sorry for her close family. I loved her so much. Dianna was such a beautiful, nice and loving person. I am especially sorry for her wonderful sons and hope JR is going to be okay.
    I loved Dianna so much. At least she is with Jesus now, so there is some peace with this and leaving us way too early. I pray that Dorothy, JR and Cody find some comfort in this. She is with her Heavenly Father, dad Donnie, and grandparents who she loved so much.
    I know she is at peace now. God Bless you Dianna. You will be so missed.
