Diana

My mother-in-law went to be with our LORD, Frid 7 March. It was a shock because it happened so quickly. But the way she went was a blessing - in her sleep peacefully.

She was an awesome kind-hearted woman who lived a full life. I am thankful that she was saved and believed in the LORD.

I am thankful for these blessings:
  • Diana was able to return to England, where she was born, and visit her old home and her parents graves
  • She was able to visit her son in England whom she hasn't seen in a few years.
  • Diana visited her sister in Canada whom she hadn't seen in more than 30 years so that was really awesome.
  • She was able to go on a cruise and visit Australia a few times to see her grandson and sons.
  • She did a lot of travelling to places she had never been to before.

All these things she was able to do in the last few years since she retired. So she was so pleased that she had fulfilled these important milestones and felt she had lived a very full life.

I'm grateful for these blessings. Especially that she met Caleb and knew that the little one to come is going to be a girl with Diana as her middle name.

She is a great loss and we will miss her so much, and I want caleb to always know how wonderful his Gran was and how much she loved him.

To Faith and Lill, thanks so much for your prayers and awesome words of encouragement and faith. Your words really filled my spirit. Thanks so much.
