Help Diane's Family Honor Her Wishes

Diane Bryant passed unexpectedly in her sleep on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at the young age of 62.

With my parents not having life insurance and they are both on disability and living to check to check like most of us, we are not able to afford her final expenses. My mother was horribly claustrophobic and did not want to be buried in the ground. She was also very scared of the traditional cremation with fire. That might sound silly to some since well, she is no longer here but I would like to respect her wishes on aquamation. We only have 1 place in the state that does that. I feel like I am begging for money and that is not something I do. I don’t know what else to do. Again, thank you all for any shares, kind words, good vibes and prayers that you are sending my way and to my dad who has been with my mother for 46 years. Losing your best friend in love has got to be one of the hardest life experiences we as humans go through.

I don’t truly know how to feel yet and death of a loved one is something we all have to face. It’s a terrible feeling knowing you will never see someone’s smile again or hug them again. It’s also my mom. Now, we didn’t always get along. Especially, in my school years. She always thought I should be like her and be well behaved. She also thought having a girl, I would wear makeup, dress up and act like a lady. My poor mom got a tomboy with a rebellious attitude and a hippie heart. She would tell me that she swore they gave her the wrong baby at birth. She always thought I was weird but I always knew she loved me. She would just laugh at my weird. She worked hard to make sure I never needed or wanted for anything. A spoiled brat. That’s what I was and I am grateful she is my mom. I just hope she has found peace. Thank you all for taking the time to read.
