In loving memory,

Matt Nee

Updated: Jan 29

Recently, Nee Law Firm’s friend and blog writer, Kevin Diehl, lost his mother at 99 years of age.  Kevin shared with me her obituary, which he wrote.  If you’ve read any of Nee Law’s blogs, you’ll recognize Kevin’s writing style – informative, intuitive, and very readable.  Kevin can take a story about a nebulous topic like a Supreme Court case on administrative law and turn it into something hard to put down.  I think you’ll find the obituary to be classic Kevin and well worth the read.

 


I’m sharing this not just because Kevin is my friend, although that would be enough.  I’m also sharing it because Annie Mary Russell Diehl lived an incredible and, in many ways, exemplary life that I hope speaks to you as you read it.  She lived a life that is hard to imagine in its span of history that covers the Great Depression to World War II to electric cars and cell phones.   But more than that, she lived a life that in some ways captures the quintessential social experience of her generation and exemplifies what Tom Brokaw called the Greatest Generation – growing up on a farm, attending a one-room school, supporting the war effort, getting married, and loving her family and God for the rest of her days.  Not a bad life at all.

 

Kevin carries on his mother’s legacy of loyalty and loving sacrifice, spending the past several years as her and his father’s primary caregiver.  His father, Harry Diehl, a D-Day survivor, is 100 years old and has a remarkable story too, which you can read about here.

 

I hope you take the time to read about these remarkable people, and I pray their stories lighten your heart as they do mine.
