For many years Mrs . Diddle was like a second mother to me. Her daughter Teri and I were best friends from third grade until Teri passed away in her early 30´s. Mrs Diddle was my comfort during that time and we became very close. There are thousands of memories with Ms Diddle usually behind the wheel taking us on adventures we would never forget. My life was so richly blessed by Ms Diddle and Teri and their family! May God keep you in His presence and bless you tremendously now and always. Kim Brock Isbell
