I’m so sorry for y’all’s loss. She was my Frist born niece. She was a spitfire as a small child. My daddy was always picking a fight with her. Which she loved. She is now at peace and on her spiritual journey. Get together and have fun. That’s what she would have wanted. May God bless you all.
Love, aunt Glynda
May she rest in the ever loving arms of God. So sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers. Love Roland and Sue

Melissa, Spencer and Shanie, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I know she will be missed. She has pain no more and is in a better place. Take care of each other – Lisa Stafford
Moi and I are left with good memories, filled with fun and discovery. Safe travels to you Di. May you always rest in peace.
I have no doubt my big sister is smiling down on us from heaven with Dad. I wish we could have been in each other’s lives more. She was the only one who ever called me Sarah is the fairest one of all. I’ll miss that. Love to you all. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
January, 50 years ago in a class called “Modern European Intellectual History,” I met John Calvin Parker. He brought Dianna, Keith, and Kraig into my life. I fell in forever love with them all. After we married, Dianna asked me “what should we call you now?” I said: “You have a perfectly good mother. Call me Leta.” She said: “Ok, but every time I call you Leta, it will be the same as Mom.” It is the way it always was with us. Dianna came to live with us when she was 12. First in Tenaha then in Lumberton. I want to share some of our best times times. In Tenaha, we lived near her beloved Biggie. We had wonderful times with her schools friends at Lake Murval, Chrystal Lake, basketball games playing tennis together but most of all with Biggie. She was filled with talent and had so much love in her heart. Dianna was a gifted dancer and photographer. She was not only Captain of the Tenaha Drill Team but also their choreographer. When she was Homecoming Queen at Tehana, she made her own gown. My favorite pictures of her are the ones that she took of herself. She took one standing on a railroad track near Sour Lake, two of her and Rickey, and one putting on lipstick. I also love a photo of her holding her little sister, Rebecca, when she was pregnant with Shane. She loved her children, grandchildren, her brothers, and her little sisters, Sarah and Rebecca. We were blessed to have her in our lives. But as long as we all live, she will live in our memories.
So very sorry for your loss Melissa. Love Kathy Wayne. Thinking about you and wishing I could give you a big hug. Love you!
You were more a mother to me than my own for many years. You and Retta were so sweet to me and it breaks my heart you both are gone… it’s like it is not even real, thinking of it……….
I love you so much mammy… though we had not spoken in some time, I still loved and love you so much… and no matter how far, space time and shooting star…… I love you mammy, you were so funny and pretty and fun….. your spirit shone like the sun……… even now, through the hearts of all who loved you….. you burn bright and beautiful……
Shine on, Dianna.
Sunshine forever.
Shine……..
