"Cancer free." Some of the sweetest words EVER, right? I'm so grateful and am rejoicing with you--dancing at the thought! This year has been surreal for all of us, but even more so for you. I know having to walk out on the water must have been terrifying at times; that sinking and coming up for air routine is hard stuff, but you've come safe home. I'm celebrating your courage and strength in the face of the waves! Jewish women used to shout a phrase to each other after a great accomplishment--eschet chayil--the woman of valor of Proverbs 31. So, hear me saying it, Diane...eschet chayil!

Happy Belated Birthday Diane! Such a wonderful post to read! It is such a blessing to know that you will be moving forward cancer free! You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks and months. Love you cousin!!

Happy birthday. So delighted and grateful you heard the cancer free message. So proud of you my friend for all the courage and determination to make it through this cancer. Now on to a life full of the vim and vigor im used to seeing in you. Love you so much.

There is a message from me, written yesterday, which I guess is circling somewhere out in virtual space, so I'll try again today! We are sending belated birthday wishes, and congratulations on the completion of your treatment! Our prayers are with you as you now focus on your goals of increased energy and strength, looking forward as well to more participation in activities...of course now, with caution! Phil and I have been transferring old VHS tapes to DVD's, and it has been fun seeing some of the gatherings of our BASICS church group...my, we certainly were young and had an abundance of energy! But even though through the years there has been a decline of energy, we can still testify to the faithfulness of God and the rich blessings of dear friends going back so many years! Thank you for your honest sharing as you reflected on the highs and lows of this experience. It has truly been of encouragement! Love the pictures! Joyce and Phil

I am rejoicing with you, Diane! I love seeing pics of you and your grandkids. I can see how much joy they bring you.

Diane, It is always great to hear good news like this especially about a caring and strong person. Oh and Happy Birthday! (says Charlie using his wife's account . :-)

Happy, Happy Birthday Blessings, dear sweet Diane!! Such wonderful news that you are cancer free! I have you and Mike's photo by my bed and I have prayed for you daily. Was so glad to chat with Mike at the DSM Anniversary closing reception and catch up on everyone's lives. Praying your strength returns and you find purpose and direction in this new season of life!

Happy birthday to one of my favorite women on the planet!!! I love you so much, and I’m so grateful that on your birthday you can shout the words, “Cancer Free!” ❤️❤️❤️

The best two words I can think of are cancer free! I haven’t posted comments regularly but don’t think for a minute that you have not been on my mind and in my heart,.

Love to you and yours . Happy Birthday to you!!!!
