I will miss my little sister Dianne. My life will never be the same without you. No one has ever been so caring, so giving, loving, never taking anything for herself, a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and so much more. No more pain or stress sis. You are in God’s hands now with your husband Gary, your mother Lorraine, your father Freeman and many more family members and friends. I will never forget you. Until we meet again. Your big sis, Iris Ringhofer
