On Friday, Nov 11th, our mom “Diane” Longoria, left this earth to spend eternity with our Father, in Heaven. Those who knew her knew that she was an avid animal person. She saved and raised many dogs, cats and even squirrels, or any other creature that came along. We were constantly fighting her about giving away what little money she had to the “Save the Elephants” foundation and about 10 other organizations. Whoever sent the mail with the saddest picture got the money that month. She also loved plants and flowers and to garden. She could save any plant..she did it for plenty of those that others did their best to kill. Last but not least, our mother LOVED To play bingo. She spent many nights at the VFW and the American Legion chasing that jackpot. So many times we heard her say “I was waiting on ONE number!”
Well, Moma, you don’t have to wait anymore. You’ll be winning every day. Forever. We love and miss you dearly. Until we meet again…Rest in Peace.
Visitation will be Saturday, November 19 from 11am-2pm at Christway Church. Funeral service will be Saturday, November 19 at 2pm at Christway Church. Interment will be at Beauregard Cemetery. Rev. Vic Warrick and Rev. Kenny Jones will officiate.
