Making a YouTube videos with the moth widener thing and was eating foods. It was so fun and was laughing so much.
When I was younger I would come over and spend the night. On those nights she would let me use her foot massager thing and I would laugh a lot.
As Hilary shared, Dianne was such an encourager to us as missionaries, and also as friends. She showed a genuine interest in our ministry and in our family. We so appreciated Dianne (and Larry, of course) and will miss her greatly. I pray the Lord's peace and comfort will be with Larry and all the family. Take care, and God bless. Stu Lynch
Dianne was such an encourager to us as missionaries. She always asked about our kids and about the people and things we had asked prayer for--showing that she really was one of those "prayer warriors." I remember one time when we were back in AR on home assignment and we had advertised a get together at The Lodge at Fellowship. That night it was raining SO hard and the wind was howling, and we didn't expect anyone to come....and in walk Larry and Dianne! They always made time for us and blessed us in so many ways. Her heart for people and the Lord has made an impact on me and I'm sure many others.
Hilary (and Stu) Lynch
We will always remember Dianne for her incredibly generous spirit. She had a heart that knew no bounds and a kindness that felt like home. To have known her was to know what it truly means to be open-hearted. Jason and Lana.
Sweet Dianne was such an encourager on this side of heaven. She loved God, her family, and others passionately.
She also loved missions! I’ll never forget her telling me that I was her favorite missionary. I don’t think anybody had ever said anything like that to me before. What a blessing to partner with her and Larry in changing lives globally for the glory of God. I was so honored to have them on my team.
