Dian Erb Thompson was my aunt, a very dear aunt. As previous mentioned she was kind and gentle and loving. I treasure every memory from all seasons of our times together. We celebrated, we grieved, we loved, we questioned, but most all she taught us all what it meant to be FAMILY. You will be missed by all of us.

Ann Marie and family I am sorry for the loss of your mom. I remember her laugh and the way she had a twinkle in her eyes. I remember her as a caring person. My prayers are with all of you at this time. Sincerely Cathleen McClure Ross.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know that this can be a very difficult time, but I would like to share an encouraging thought from the book of Psalms. It tells us that God is near to those broken in spirit. I hope this brings you comfort.

To Dian's children and grandchildren: So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I enjoyed working with her many years and listening to her recall stories of her teen years working at Crystal Beach. Maureen Sobocinski

I was very sad to learn that Dian lost her battle after her difficult surgery. I was able to kiss her, embrace her and wish her well after our June ARC luncheon. Dian was a gentle, kind soul and I was honored to call her my friend. Her entire family have my deepest sympathy. RIP Dian!
