Dianna's Birthday- "Good Deeds for Dianna"
Message from- Mikel Porter, FBC Lewisville Student Minister
Hello all--
You may/may not be aware that Miss Dianna Vannostran's birthday is March 12 (this Friday). I know all of us will be think about and praying for her family-- Bret, Nanette, the kids and extended family-- as they continue to grieve and miss that sweet little girl. I was thinking it would be cool to help them celebrate her life-- a life that was full of love, laughter and passion! Here's the idea:
On Friday, March 12, we want to get many people who love Dianna and her family to do a good deed for someone else. It can be someone you know or don't know. It can be planned or spontaneous. It can be done as a family, with friends or on your own. The idea is that we will all celebrate Dianna's life by doing something loving for someone else. When you do the deed, if appropriate, share with that person why you're doing it so they'll know about Dianna too. Then, the most important part: write a note to the Foster family and share with them what you did in her memory. you can email it or send a card or however you want to communicate. This way, Dianna's family will know all the things that were done to celebrate this sweet life and can keep them to remember in the days ahead.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Go out for dinner and leave an extra big tip for your server
Pay for the next person in line at Starbucks or fast food line
Volunteer time at CCA, SpiritHorse or some other organization in her memory
Plant flowers or a tree in someone's yard
Do something extra special to erve someone in your household
Send an encouraging note
Buy a gift card
Buy a drink for the check out clerk at a gas stration
Take flowers to the emergancy room/nursing home and thank the staff for what they do
Donate blood
Please feel free to forward this message to anyone/everyone you know who might want to participate. This is a great way to celebrate a great life!
Email your deeds to Nanette at: nfoster@fbclewisville.org
or mail them to Foster Family: 126 Edgewood Dr. Lewisville, TX 75067
Thank you for helping us celebrate Dianna's life!
