I will forever miss my DeJesus mom. She was the best…made me a DeJesus. She was my second mom. From my Taylor side of the Familia to my DeJesus side of the family…we all send love and sympathy with the passing of “my mom”. One family, mourning the loss of a great lady.
One of many loving Wagner moms!!!
Forever in our Hearts
Grandma rest without pain and peacefully.
Diana was/is a mover, she influenced many of us…our mother by default…loved her cooking and how she showed tough love..
She is in my heart til I meet our maker!
My deepest condolences to the DeJesus Family, R.I.P.
