My prayers are with the Bishop Family during this time of mourn. I had just meet Diann about 8 months ago, I feel that God puts people in your path of life for a reason. And Diann was one of those people that God put in my path! Her Strength and determination would light up a room! I was always greatful when Diann would come into the region office to do her attendance, thats when we would talk. She will be greatly missed by everyone! Diann is in a better place and will never be in pain anymore, Diann until we meet again! And Thank you for being such a wonderful and Inspirational person! Gilbert Saenz
