Diann Puryear was the epitome of a true, wonderful Christian example for us ALL. She was married to my cousin, Sande Puryear, and I grew to love her through the many years I knew her, especially after she bought a home a few houses down from me. I know she is happy being with Sande, and her parents. Her crown will be special.. I will miss her terribly.

To the Puryear family, Please know each of you are in my prayers during this time of loss in this temporary world! Diane was such a special person, a great friend, and a sister-in-CHRIST! I had the honor of serving with her in leadership at Bible Study Fellowship for several years. She was especially kind to me and we developed a deeper friendship during the illness of her cousin and my classmate and dear friend, Tina Ward Hipp Miler. Diane was so proud of you and shared many of your achievements! May you feel the love and comfort that only GOD can give when we grieve for our loved ones who go before us.

To her family, Diane was one of a kind. Sweet, caring, giving and kind. I went to school with her and she is the example of a true Christian. Will miss her deeply but so thankful to know she is with her Heavenly Father and her family that went before. My prayers will be with you and your family.

I'm sad for the loss of Diane on this earth, but know she is celebrating being back with her husband and her parents who she loved so well and vice versa. Diane was always kind to everyone in my experience and I'm glad she did not suffer long, apparently. RIP my friend!
