Dear grandma ik your up in heaven now but as you know I still talk to you, a thing I like to do daily is light up a candle in a dark very cold room and talk to you and when I'm done talking I blow the candle out and use the smoke as ur Spirit it's my favorite thing to do to connect with you the best. I hope your resting easy up there I miss you every single day I remember your last words you said it was "make sure you look out for my princess" and that was ur last words to me and man it hurt so bad I couldn't even get a chance to see you your last time or say goodbye aunt Angie is the one who told me what ur last words were to me wish I could have heard it in person myself but unfortunately couldn't 💔 you were not only my grandma you were my best friend my shoulder to cry on my wing to keep going you past away when I was only 7 years old and I'm 16 now... Ik your with me in heart and spirit ok your looking down on me but it still don't feel the same without you here with me. Birthdays feel different holidays feel different my whole world collapsed when you past I remember at 3:30 I got off the bus mom told me you past and the last thing I remember is blacking out in my mother's arms so scared and hurt knowing you were really gone forever idk why you had to leave so soon😔 I love you forever and your ashes aka you will always be around my neck and everywhere I go. I love you more then words can explain and I miss you more then anything in this world I'd do anything to get you back but I'll see you again when it's my time to go. I love and miss you so much I hope you have angel friends up there and I even still pick ur favorite flowers still purple violets bc ok how much you loved them so I collect them every time I pick them even after there dead I still have them pinned on my wall🥺. rip grams rest easy and pain free💔💜🕊️🥺
Harold and family, we are so sorry to hear of Dianne's passing. She was a big part of the Almond Products, Inc., family. She will be missed. She is now with her mom and sisters and they are reunited and probably all playing BINGO right about now! RIP Dianne!

I am saddened to hear about Dianna, I went to school with her and we hung out together in our younger years. We have lost touch after High School, I send my heartfelt condolences to the family. May you be comforted by the many memories you have of her. ~Robin (Lacey) VanderKooi

Dianne was a wonderful woman and one of the only other woman I could call "mom” besides my own mother, without feeling odd. She always had a great big Smile and hug for me every time she saw me. Her love for Harold, Angie, Dawn, and her grandchildren and her extended family was easy to see in all of her actions to care for them! She did not limit her love to her family. She had a Hugh heart and will be sorely missed! It is with a saddened heart that say goodbye to this big heart-ed, fun loving, wonderful woman..
Sending lots of love to all of Diane's loved ones.....
Only knew Dianne at bingo here in the Carriage Apt but she was always cheerful and fun to be around will be missed by all of us. But the awful pain is now over R.I.P God Bless
