Hey Randall, James, and Bradley you guys know that y’all had the best lady in y’all’s life. She could be tough sometimes but you all know that there was a special place in her heart for each of you. And when she started getting those grandbabies, well there wasn’t anything else that could make her life more complete. I came into this bunch back in the 70’s and I want you all to know even though I didn’t see you all that much you all still have a special place in my heart. RIP Diane and no more hurt, no more pain. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.
