I had the honor of working with Diane for over 30 years. Her smile, her kind words and positive attitude made each day happy, and she will be so missed. I consider her my friend, and my heart is broken. But I'm so glad that she is in the presence of our Lord. My heart felt sympathies are with her family. May God bring you peace and understanding.

Mother Drake and family, my heart aches knowing the pain that you must be feeling right now. There are very few genuine Christians you meet in life. I have known Diane for over 50 years, and she has always been the same, giving to everyone and always speaking kind words about and toward others. Certainly, she will be missed, but I know she made it to our heavenly home and joined the great cloud of witnesses. I pray that God will bring peace and healing to your sorrows. Reggie Allen
