    Posted: Yesterday at 9:47pm
I just received this from Diane's CARE PAGE: 
 
We have lost another warrior
 
God only knows I did NOT want to be writing this. MY Beautiful Amazing wife of whom I have been with for 25 Years lost her battle with this CURSE we call cancer. She put up one HELL of a fight and I am very proud to say she was MY WIFE & the Mother of my 3 children. She did not respond to the chemo so they tried radiation. Her throat began to swell & her airways could not get much air. She then could not swallow and continued downhill from then. They tried for days to get the swelling to go down but all her symptoms just got worse and she did not have any relief from the radiation. She lost most of her functions and did not want to be on any machines. I plan on making a foundation in her name but do not know the details as of yet.Thank you all for supporting her and please continue a prayer for her and our children. The ONLY comfort any of us can seem to find is that she is not in any pain anymore! And we know she is in a better place right now then we are.
I LOVE YOU CORDELIA DIANE, MAY YOU WALK WITH THE LORD AND IN PEACE.
YOUR HUSBAND CRAIG

This is one that I just cannot wrap my mind around.  My heart aches so much for Craig and their children.

Life is so precious, so fragile.  

God bless and keep Craig and their babies and God bless Diane - may she rest in eternal peace.

This is tremendously overwhelming to read.  I am in a state of shock that she could have been doing so well just such a short time ago, and now all this - that just suddenly came roaring in like a freaking tornado - and wham - complete destruction -  her life is lost to this disease and her family is left to mourn and now has to learn to live without her.  My God  - where is the justice in this life - where??????????

This is too much, Donna.  Damn, I hate this disease.  Diane was too young to die.  Her children needed her and Craig needed his wife.  Dear Lord, stop this insanity.

Thanks for the link to the care page, where my condolence message is going. Here, right now, all I can say is that I hate this cruel, horrible, hateful disease.

I do not know when I have felt so much grief.

Dear Craig,
I am so sorry about Diane. She is in a better place and I Praise God for that but, I hate this cancer that seems to run so fast and furious in some of our sisters. I am in total shock!
You and the children and all of Diane's family are in my prayers. Dear God please give all of them your indescribeable peace.
She did fight with all she had and I am sooooo sorry.
God Bless,

Dear Craig and Family,
 
Words cannot begin to express the sadness I feel over your loss.  I am thankful that you are grieving with hope and I pray for the God of all comfort to wrap His loving arms around your family.  He promises to be near the brokenhearted and I pray you all would know His Presence and Peace.

I am so very sad to hear this news about Diane.  While I didn't know her personally, I am familar with her as Angelsabove on bc.org. She was always so upbeat and positive and this is such a tragedy for her children and husband.  I am so sad and I don't really know what to say...

Diane's obituary, posted by Autumn in the Talk section:

Cordelia Diane Counts

  • BORN: February 21, 1973
  • DIED: January 1, 2011
  • LOCATION: little Rock, AR

Cordelia Diane Counts, 37, of Little Rock passed away January 1, 2011. She was an office manager for Kay’s Cleaning Service. She attended Zion Hill Baptist Church and was a member of the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.
She is survived by her husband of twelve years, and partner of twenty-five years, Craig Counts of Little Rock; two sons, Anthony and Colton Counts both of Little Rock; daughter, Chyann Counts of Little Rock; father, Calvin Davis of Little Rock; mother, Kay Davis of Cabot; brother, Frank Davis of Little Rock; father and mother-in-law; two sisters-in-law and two brothers- in-law; three nephews and a host of family and friends and family pets, Zena, Diva Diane and Theodore.
Diane enjoyed giving to her family and children. She mostly enjoyed being a wife and mother and an inspiration to her friends. She was a caring, giving compassionate person, who was never selfish. Diane was the rock that held her family together.
The family would like to give a special thanks to the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department and members of the Zion Hill Baptist Church for all their loving care and support.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, P.O. Box 204, Norwood, New Jersey, 07648.
A memorial service will be held 10:00 a.m., Thursday, January 6, 2011 at Zion Hill Baptist Church. Burial will be in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Arrangements by North Little Rock Funeral Home, 1921 Main St., 758-1170. Online obituary and guest registry at www.nlrfh.com.
