It took a lot for me just to be able to get to this point. This is not just another Diana site. This is not the reason for this memorial. Yes, Diana was the Princess of Wales. There is no question that Diana was more Royal than the Royals.

Diana was much more than that to me. Diana was my personal friend. I could relate to her and she could relate to me. I only saw her at the various charity functions that I would attend with my mother-in-law. During those events we had some very long heart to heart talks. Some would leave me in tears for what my friend was going through.

I didn't think Diana would talk to me, let alone accept me. I was very surprised when Diana accepted me right away. Since I am not of Royal blood, just a Southern girl who has spent most of her life in England, I was very surprised. I soon found out, as the rest of the UK and the world soon found out, that this was a Royal who was touchable - one that was down to earth and shared in other peoples' griefs and joys.

This page will probably change when I am able to do this without breaking into tears. This has been very hard for me. Thanks to Jesus who has been healing my grief. Lord, you are always faithful to me. Thanks also to Richard who has also been a constant source of support, and to my many friends who have listened and watched me cry. You have all been a great support to me. Thank you.

Please pray for Diana's boys whom she loved very much. I know this for a fact as she always talked about them. Diana left us a part of her through Prince William. That blond hair and that smile are his mother's. He will be the future King of England. Prince Harry is such a sweetie who has a heart just like his mom's. These two boys very much need our prayers.
These are just a few of the things that my friend talked about while she was with us.

"I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."

"I've taken the children to all sorts of areas where I'm not sure anyone of that age in this family has been before. . . . And they have a knowledge -- they may never use it, but the seed is there -- and I hope it will grow, because knowledge is power: I want them to have an understanding of people's emotions, people's insecurities, people's distress, and people's hopes and dreams."

"I've had difficulties . . . but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."

"I want to walk into a room, be it a hospice for the dying or a hospital for sick children, and feel that I am needed. I want to do, not just to be.

DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES
