Diana was a most precious lady. She has such a special place in my heart. She sang at my wedding at Faith Baptist Church in March of 1993. She had one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. She was a good, God-fearing woman. She will be missed so much. I can’t wait to hear her sing in that heavenly choir one day.
