I will never forget Diane. This is a painting by her that still hangs in my home. She was a wonderful friend; caring and kind. I will continue to cherish the memories I have of all of the fun times we had together. Particularly our amazing cruise to Bermuda.

I've known Diane since I sold her family as house in Greenfield, many years ago. I remember fondly when Diane and her mother were at the Bon Air Botique. What fun I had shopping there! Our paths have crossed many times since then. Diane always made me smile! Her love of life and zest for all things beautiful will always be remembered! May she always be in our thoughts and minds!

Diane was an incredibly beautiful woman both inside and out. I have so many wonderful and special memories of fun times together. Lorena Harris introduced me to Diane many years ago. What a gift it was to have known Diane. I thank God for having our paths cross...she was an angel to everyone she touched. I'm definitely a better person from knowing her. She was a very talented woman with many gifts and I'm so blessed to have a couple pieces of her art that I will treasure forever. God bless you sweet Diane!!! xoxo

How do I begin? Diane helped me through more than one difficult time with her love and friendship. We shared laughter, tears, an abiding love of God, and of course many memories of nights at Honeytree. The Bermuda cruise we took together will remain etched in my mind forever. Diane, I look forward to hearing that beautiful voice again in Heaven's choir.

Diane was a kind, generous and sweet person. I loved her and was in love with her. I was her friend. She was fun, sassy, glamerous, and funny. I will miss her.
I once took her to a Garden Party wher every man at the party wanted to know who this beautiful woman was, I smiled...

Words cannot express how I feel.Diane was like a sister to me, and she will live in my heart forever.So thankful I got to see her on 8/24/09 with her beautiful smile she always had.I whispered in her ear more than once how much I loved her. The memories I have of our time together and some of her art are treasures.She was loved by many and will be missed. "I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow".
