Diane was a very special friend who I will miss dearly. A California transplant (via Edinburgh), I loved hearing about her days at
Berkeley;what is was like hear Janis Joplin live at Candlestick Park, the protest marches (she participated) as well as stories of her worldwide travels. Diane generated warmth, kindness and beauty both inside and out. Her ongoing optimism, courage, strength and dignity will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

I'll always remember Diane's running her hand through her striking red hair with just the right combination of flair and feminine mystique.

Rest in Peace Diane.
