In Episode 2 of Coffee Chats, Mrs. Diane calls Donna Avant, an old friend from her past, to not only reminisce about the "good ole days" of supporting their husbands through seminary, but to hear her story about her and her husband's journey that they took to become who they are today. It's her story of hope.
