| I have known Diane since about 1985. She was a band saw operator, while I painted on what she cut. She was always there for everyone and I truly loved her. She just loved her girls soooo much. I feel honored to have known her and I will miss her showing up at Costco, where I saw her last. You are all in my prayers. We are all in GOD'S grace. Love to all, Ellie |

My heart is breaking, I will miss
Diane so much. Diane, Linda and I developed an unspoken bond throughout our
childhood. As we grew up, we were each others pillars to lean on in our
times of struggle. We all three shared our secrets and our dreams, we were
as one. We were Secret Agent Girls : ) I Love and miss you. Jeanie (you are forever in my heart) |

When the phone rang I knew it was you. Yet I cannot see you anymore ,you will be with me forever. My best friend, my sister, my twin. I love and miss you, Sis. Linda |

| Living so far away it was very hard to get to know you but every time I visited and the time you visited here I enjoyed our talks and laughs. You were a great aunt. Thank you for being such a wonderful sister to my mother. She always spoke of you and Linda with nothing but love in her heart. You are very loved and will truly be missed. Love always your niece, Jenny, daughter of Jeanie Blake |

Although our lives only became
known to each other four months ago I feel as though I have known you all my
life. I will treasure the times we had together. You always made me feel
welcome and comfortable when I visited your home. I loved your wit and keen
sense of humor. I know you are in a better place and finally at rest. All
the grieving here isn't for you, it is for all of us that you are leaving
behind because we all love you and are going to miss you every day. Do not
worry I will take care of Linda. Ken |

O Lord of Life, Where'er They Be
- Lyrics by
Frederick L. Hosmer, 1888;
Music by
Melchior Vulpius (circa
1560-1615)
O Lord of life, where’er they be,
Safe in Thine own eternity,
Our dead are living unto Thee:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
All souls are Thine, and here or there
They rest within Thy sheltering care;
One providence alike they share:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thy Word is true, Thy ways are just;
Above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
Shall rise our psalm of grateful trust:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O happy they in God who rest,
No more by fear and doubt oppressed,
Living or dying, they are blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
