In Memory of Diana

My stepsister Diana passed away far two young leaving behind a mourning family. Although I moved far away without really knowing her, my prayers are with My stepmother and my family back home. If your prayers could also go out to my stepmom Dolly and her family left behind I know it will make a difference. Feel free to leave you words of encouragement to my family back in Minnesota if you have the urge.
