Celebration of Life for Diane

For those of you who didn’t know, our mama was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in December 2017. She fought long and hard, but unfortunately the chemo and radiation were too powerful for her body. She was the strongest woman we knew. Our Ma loved her family, friends, cats, Harley rides, sunbathing, working out and traveling.  We have never been ones to ask for help as mom always taught us to be strong independent woman, but unfortunately she did not have life insurance. With this, we’re reaching out to ask for assistance with covering a portion of the expenses.  We don’t want to ask for much, but anything you are able to contribute would be gratefully appreciated during this tough time. 

The visitation will be held at Cutler-O’Neill on Monday, July 16th from 5-8pm. The service will be held at First Christian Church on Tuesday, July 17th at 2pm. The funeral home will also be available to accept the memorial fund. 

Thank you for the bottoms of our hearts.
