In Memoriam of Diane Verkuilen


We cried when you passed away, we still cry today. Although we loved you dearly, we couldn’t make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best.
Your time on Earth has come to an end and God has sent you an angel to show you the way. We want you to know that you were loved by so many who cared for you with their whole heart and soul. You have given us so much joy in our lives. We have always had a special place in our hearts for you because you were always a light in the dark. Our world was so much brighter with you in it.
So when tomorrow starts without you, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time we think of you, you’re right here in our hearts. The angel said your place in Heaven is ready far above and that you had to leave behind all those you truly loved.
Dear Lord in Heaven, would you please put your arms around Diane? Give her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek and tell her it’s from all of us.

P.S. The past should be left in the past or it will steal your future. Live life for what tomorrow can bring and not for what yesterday has taken away. Every day is a gift from God.

Rest in peace; we will see you again one day.

We love you,
Bob and Judy Bowers

I’m so very sorry! We grew up with Diane as our babysitter and family friend! She kept the 5 of us in line for sure! Diane knew how to have fun and was quick to share that hearty laugh. Blessings to all as you move through this time ahead. Deb
