Hi, my name is Miranda Wieske, and I’m a 30-year-old mom of two. I’m asking for support during an incredibly difficult time.

On November 23rd, my mom, Diane Dooge, passed away suddenly at the age of 71 after a short battle with lung cancer. Her loss has left a hole in our family that can never be filled, and we are now facing unexpected expenses as we work to honor her memory.

My mom spent her life caring for others as an LPN—a job she truly loved. She was compassionate, wise, and a natural leader, often becoming a second mother to those around her. She also had a goofy, joyful side that brought laughter wherever she went. Her memory lives on in the countless stories and smiles she left behind.

I take comfort in knowing she is now reunited and dancing in heaven with her husband, Neil Dooge. She loved her family and friends deeply, no matter the miles that seperated them.

If you are able to donate, share, or simply send a prayer, it would mean the world to us. Your support will help cover the unexpected costs we’re facing and allow us to give my mom the farewell she deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
