Diane was a sweet girl, and a very good friend. I enjoyed our telephone talks when Diane first moved to Florida and I was living in Georgia at that time. She was so sweet and thoughtful. I will miss her telephone conversions and her cards at the holidays. I was so blessed to have had her in my life.

I was very sorry to hear of Dianes passing.
She was a wonderful person. She seemed always happy and with a smile.
I knew her growing up and later ran into her as an adult. She was a joy to know and be with.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May God Bless

Some people are a blessing to know and Diane was one of those people.
Although we didn't know one another for a long time, the few years we had together left me with many happy memories.
We shared a great love of cats, stamping and scrapbooking.
Diane loved to entertain and knew how to host the best tea parties.
She was generous and giving and made every event and birthdays a special time to remember.
I will miss our lunches and special times we shared together along with her mother Dottie and her many other friends
I am sorry I couldn't be with her in her last few months to help or just hold her hand, but we kept in touch by phone, as being a snowbird,I summer in Canada.
Through Diane I met her wonderful mother "Dottie" and at this time of sorrow, our love and prayers go out to her and her family.
Diane you will always live in our hearts and prayers.
There is no greater bond than that of a Mother and Child

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dottie and family during this time of loss. Diane was a very dear friend who will be sorely missed from our scrapbooking and stamping events in Florida. We were blessed to have known her and shared laughter and tears in many special moments.
