A remarkable and well loved lady, born in Bridgend, South Wales. At the age of 7 she and her two siblings lost their mother, and were cared for by their father. After leaving school, Diane started work for Braggs the butcher, where she tried all aspects of that trade.
Her life changed at the age of 17, when she went to Coney Beach fun fair and met a young man called Christopher, who helped to maintain the waterslide, and she kept coming back just to talk to him. Even when the season ended they continued to write, and so it was two years later in 1960 they were married. They lived with Di's father, but Chris wanted to return to Bristol, so they packed their belongings and the 1st of their 5 girls, caught the train back to Bristol. After staying with relatives they were given a home in Hartcliffe, in fact they had several houses, depending on the size of the family.
Diane's daughter Debbie died in a motor bike accident in America, leaving 5 little girls in the care of their loving Grandmother who adopted them. It wasn’t just these three, but others who needed care and protection were absorbed into Di's home. All together Diane had 5 daughters 23 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, (and 2 on the way). Every one of whom she loved and who loved her.
Diane enjoyed Bingo, having her own seat at table 100 in the Gala bingo hall at Whitcurch. She enjoyed wildlife programmes and looked after a variety of animals that her girls brought home, from chickens to goats but putting a stop to having a pig!!!!!
Diane will be remembered for her big heart, her Tardis of a home (normal on the outside, plenty of room on the inside) her laughter, her strength, patience and love.
Her death while, painful for the family was peaceful and gentle, with Chris by her side and her girls close to hand. May she rest in Peace eternal.
DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO TALK
Do you ever sit in an empty room
do you appreciate an open bloom
do you smell it's sweet perfume
Do you feel the need to 'talk out loud'
but theres no one there to hear
do you hear a voice call out your name
so close up to your ear
Have you ever felt a sudden chill pas by
and the hair on your neck stands up
have you gone to pour a cup of tea
but someone's moved your cup
Do you believe in angels
do they make you smile
have you felt one on each shoulder
as you walk that long wiery mile
Do you know that all these things
are messages to you
do you believe that they exist
i'll tell you.....YES THEY DO

Footprints In The Sand x
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My child, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow
Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...
I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...
I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...
I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...
If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...
Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...
Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.
With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.

my rock x
my rock Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking, "When I phone,
I can talk of this or that!"
Then remember, I'm alone
you was always there
To answer my calls -
To listen to my "small talk"
Or when I climbed the walls.
At times, I didn't feel like talking
And somehow, you understood -
you Didn't say you wished I'd call
Or make me feel like I should.
Now, I wish I would have
More times, to show I cared -
To say, just how important
Were, all those times we shared.
I could have shown my love
So much more than I did -
I never, did it enough
Even when I was a kid.
Now it's too late to do or say
All those things I wish I had -
No way to ease the pain inside
When my heart is sad.
you was my "anchor" to this life -
The "rock", that I clung to -
The place, where I could turn
When, nowhere else would do.
Now, the ravages of time
Have worn my "rock" away -
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday.

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
As New Year approaches
It seems harder this time of year
We miss you so much more
The only thing that gets us through
Are the memories of before
So here's a card just for you
To show how much we care
I know your waiting with the angels
One day I'll see you there.
FOR A SPECIAL FRIEND

and in the warm embrace
of friends.
