Monticello, AR Thursday, March 4, 2010 Aunt Dyan,Even though we never really got to know each other, I've heard so many good things about you and it saddens me that we only met once. But I'm so happy that you're not in pain anymore. I love you and can't wait to meet you in Heaven.

Monticello, AR Thursday, March 4, 2010 Dyan, I already missed you but it didn't compare to this void I feel now. I remember when I was little. you told me that before I was born I was a little angel in Heaven and that I saw Mama and Daddy on Earth and said that I wanted them to be my parents so that's when I came to live with y'all. Now you're the one in Heaven and one day we'll all be there together again. What a celebration going on in Heaven right now! We'll celebrate again when we're reunited. I will always love you, sister. I'll be seeing you.candy lawson
