I, too, am saddened by the passing of my neighbor, Diana. She was such a sweet and caring lady. My condolences to her family, especially her grandson, Garrett, who was by her side until the very end. My heart breaks for him as he continues life on the family farm without his lovely Nana. Prayers for peace and comfort to the entire family as you lay your loved one to rest.
