Diann, I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. She had to be a wonderful lady because she has a wonderful daughter named Diann. I wish we could come to the service but I'm not traveling very far from Conway. I've been to Mtn View but we haven't been to Forrest City since graduation but hopefully we will make it next Monday because Emma has a piano recital. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I love all of you!
