David Opon

For those who didn’t know Diane, her life was a difficult one. She was born premature on May 17, 1951 and the treatment then was 100% oxygen delivered in the incubator. This led to her blindness and brain damage. In addition, she struggled at times with severe emotional issues. But through it all she, with the love of my parents, persevered to live a life as full as possible as anyone who ever witnessed her singing and playing the piano will attest to. Although this is a sad time for all those who cared about Diane, it is also comforting to know that she will not suffer further and is now freed from her damaged earthbound body to enjoy whatever lies ahead for all of us on the other side. On behalf of my brother, myself and Kathie, we extend our sincere thanks to the medical staff at Metro South, especially the ICU nurses; to Kimberly Luckett-Perry, your support was immeasurable; to Katie Helm for all your countless hours and genuine love of Diane, to everyone at the Sertoma Centre, who back in 1972 gave Diane a chance when no one else would, and finally to the Ridgeway residents and staff, Diane’s home since 2004.
