Dear Kara, Brett and Donis;
I was saddened to hear of your Mother’s passing. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God Bless you all.
Diane was a wonderful lady. I met her when I ran Buffalo Books & Coffee. She would often bring her grandchildren in to the store to purchase a book or read to them. I will always think of her when having an iced mocha, as she would usually enjoy one while reading stories to her grandchildren.
She will be missed! My thoughts are with you all.
Warmest Regards,
Liz Purcell
Gene and I wish to express to Diane’s family our deepest sympathy. May God’s strength help to sustain you in your sorrow. Diane, a lovely lady, will be sadly missed.
