It's been ten years since you left us and I think of you every day, especially this time of year when we celebrated the Autumn season. I love you and will always miss you until we meet again.

I am one of DiAnna´s second cousins, my grandmother is Jorja Latham-Kearns. It´s been a blessing to discover more about our family, and I only wish I could have met DiAnna and gotten to know her. I´m grateful to know her through stories and memories.

It's hard to believe it's been five years since you left us. Fall has arrived, a time you always celebrated with such beautiful decorations in your lovely home and created an atmosphere of welcoming warmth. I love you and miss you.

You were such a special friend for nearly 50 years. I am so sad that I can no longer spend any time with you. We had some really great times together. I will cherish the memories forever!

DiAnna was a wonderful friend to me during the many years I lived in Columbia. Her sense of humor, compassion, intelligence and spontaneity for whatever anyone proposed for fun made her a joy to be around. I will surely miss her.

DiAnna was an incredible reader and friend. Despite her struggles, she remained constantly upbeat, gracious, and supportive. I respected so much her affection and love for animals and nature. I am forever grateful for her friendship.
