Family, my heart is heavy. I was shocked to see Diane passing. She was my moms nurse at COA and was so good to her. Mom passed in February Diane gave me words of comfort. Mom loved her as I. I know you will miss her and her little residents will too. I pray the Lords arms of love and comfort hold you close now and in the days to come. Mom and my world was brighter knowing Diane. Prayers, Retia Shealy

I worked with Diane for several years as staff nurse on Birch Wing at Lifecare. She was the best work partner I ever had. I loved to work with her. She was such an excellent and caring nurse. We worked so well together. She was a good friend to me. I haven't seen her since I retired and she left Lifecare. We always felt like we could talk with each other when we were troubled. Love you, Dear Diane.
