I am sorry for my delayed reply in sending my condolences. I only found out two days ago. I have fond memories of Aunt Dianne as a child and a summer spend town in Madison as a guest in her home. She had an infectious laugh…and was loved by many. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Dianne. I will always remember how motherly and comforting she was to me. I have great memories of her and will never forget those. My sincere thoughts are with the Bischel family during this time.
My sincere condolences to the Bischel family. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God’s promise to soon “swallow up death forever” and “wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) While grief at the loss of Dianne is great, joy at welcoming her back in the resurrection will be greater. (Mark 5;42) With deepest sympathy,
