I’m writing to share with you that my bride of 53 years (in August), passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus, her heavenly Prince between 9:30 and 10:00 pm, July 4 (Her day of independence from this old world).

Diagnosed in 2011, she battled Alzheimer’s for some 14 years.

Dianne deeply loved her family, friends and faith family. Her heart for people and her Lord has stood the test of time.

I moved her to memory care last November ‘23. Five months later (Apr) she experienced a sudden and steep decline. After nursing her back to some modicum of heath, she suffered another decline last week. She would not recover from that.

Never complaining once in these few months, her faith remained strong. Her faith remained radiant all the way to the end.
