Thoughts

Some things never change! That's so true of Diane Smith Teel! When she was a Sigma Pi Gamma pledge at Pepperdine College with her best friend Gloria Robison, nothing could break her spirit and no amount of teasing could banish her smile. She remained her joyful optimistic self throughout the days of initiation trials and never lost the happiness with which she chose to live life. I read a book recently titled Proof of Heaven by neurologist Eben Alexander. In it, Dr. Alexander relates his own near-death experience sharing his wonderful realization of the perfect home God has made for us. Surely now Diane is living in one of the Father's many mansions; she must be dwelling in God's presence there in heaven just as she also lived there with the Lord here on this earth. I'm glad I knew Diane and know heaven is more rich, more wonderful because she's there now. -----Gamma "sister" Judy Hawley Deatherage

Diane would say, "you're the best" to many friends, but we all say she was the "Bestest of the Best"! Love and hugs forever XOXO Barbi D.

Whether you knew Diane Teel for three minutes or your whole life, she impacted you and made you a better person. In her honor we need to make someone laugh today, reach out and be kind to a stranger, forgive someone, pray for someone, compliment someone, think of others first and go out of your way to make someones day a little better. This is how she lived her life everyday! Pay it forward.
