Women of Faith Conference, October 2003 "This page is dedicated to our friend and Sister-in-Christ, Dianne McNally, who lost her long battle with breast cancer on May 30, 2004. Let this remind us all of Dianne's amazing faith and trust in God and may we take comfort in knowing that she is now lovingly held in His arms. Every year 200,000 courageous lives are struck with breast cancer and 40,000 are lost. Let us lift each each one up and pray that they pass unto the Lord with the same faith and grace as Dianne. She was, and still is, an inspiration to us all."
