Mrs. Lowden taught my son, Tyler, to read in first grade -- something he continues to enjoy now in his second year of college. For this luminous gift, we are forever grateful. Her patience, her determination and her clear, bright avocation for teaching -- both her young charges and their sometimes anxious parents -- were a delight. She made this small corner of the world of Stow a better place.

Dear Art & Family:
We were shocked and saddened by the news of Diane's passing. You have all become a part of our Little Neck life and we will miss Diane's wonderful smile as we pass her on the deck or wave to her from our porch as she makes the trek to the beach with her precious grandchildren.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

Dear Arthur and family, I always looked forward to seeing Diane reading her book, on your deck at Little Neck--she always stopped what she was doing to chat. We will miss her so much. She loved her family--especially those Grandchildren! You were blessed to have her, as were we. Our love, Brian & Eileen

Dear Art and family,
We were saddened to hear about Diana. We only knew her for a few years here at Lake Highlander. She always had a great smile and a kind word for everyone. I can still visualize her riding her bike down the street here. She will be missed.

Dear Arthur, Sharon and Ken and the entire family,

Chuck and I send our deepest sympathies to each of you. We are shocked to hear of Diane's sudden passing. She was a vital member of a great family. She was wife, mother, sister, aunt and most of all she was grandmother. Diane always kept us informed on how the grandchildren were doing and what they were doing. She was so proud of them and of her family in total.

Diane was always caring and had many interests and was a good friend. She was a wonderful neighbor and always had a smile and a laugh to share and we will miss her very much.
We share many memories with the Louden family and will be with you to share some special moments we remember. Diane leaves us suddenly but leaves a legacy of warmth and love, never to be forgotten.
