the

L y n n

from this

not from
our hearts,
to continue
her eternal
journey.
Diane
Diane
Raybould
was born
Sept. 6, 1956. She was the fifth
child, out of 13.
She is survived by her hus-
band, Dennis Raybould, and
their two children Danyelle and
Dale, as well as her five grand-
children Rowan, Keenan,
Kylie, Jonah and Nolan.
Diane cared very much for
her community. She was
always bringing knowledge of
health through food and natural
healings.
In June 2003, one of her
dreams came true. She opened
up Nature’s Corner. She made a
place where people could come
and eat and shop healthy and
feel good.
Above all, she was a loving
wife and mother, an extraordi-
nary grandmother and a great
friend and was always there
when her family needed her.
She loved the outdoors, camp-
ing and hiking
She
will
be
missed
immensely.
When the heart weeps for
what it has lost, the soul
laughs for what it has found.
