Not sure what to say?

I miss hearing and seeing Dianas bright smile and laughter. She was a very dear friend.

We had so many good times - New Orleans for Rich's 50th birthday. dinners on The Hill, one particular adventure involving getting stuck in a farmer's field during a new moon, and so many times we explored around the St. Louis you were so familiar with & loved introducing to us.
Your sense of humor & spontaneity always made church, school & social activities more fun.
We were blessed by your friendship.
Rest easy.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. My twin sister and I met Diana in third grade and became very close friends and formed the square dancing group. Picture was taken this Summer at a reunion of the "square dancing girls". Frank Perry will remember us girls!

I will miss you so much Diana. Who will I go to breakfast with , concerts at Logan U. Lunch dates. You were one of the most sharing people I have known. I will always remember our meals in your kitchen and watching something that you had taped.
I am sorry that you could not keep our breakfast date last Monday. God had a special plan for you. Now you are at Peace with Rich, your husband whom you loved very much. I loved you Diana and will miss you .
Dan and Jeff and family your...

I always had this wonderful cousin, Diana Runge, and ran into her at Runge Cousins reunions over the years. Then in 2014 I had a real chance to get to know her. She was out here for the Runge Reunion, which was followed by a Denison, Iowa, reunion the next day. Diana and I are not from Denison, so we went on a road trip to Flagstaff and Sedona. It was a beautiful drive, and we had a great day bonding as friends. The last time I saw Diana was at the Runge Cousins reunion last year in Augusta,...

Diana will be sorely missed. My heart is breaking at your loss and mine. We were classmates at Ferguson and just saw her smiling, happy face Oct 5 at our Reunion.
She was a treasure and the Angels are celebrating!

Forever in your hearts.

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
