I first met Diane when she worked at St. Vincent. She was a terrific manager of Health Information, successfully installing a very new technology at that time. Just this past year I was able to work directly with Diane at UAB Health System where we had a most productive experience contributing to even newer technologies. Diane and I tried many times to get together with Kay (former HIM Director at UAB) for lunch, but could never coordinate our busy schedules. You are missed, dear Diane. Your memory will be one of my blessings..........

My sisters and I met Diane during our meetings at CanSurvive when we used to take our mother there. Like our mom, she will be missed. There is peace knowing there is no more pain. You are in our hearts and prayers.
