Di, I've always admired the natural courage and strength you had and used throughout your day to day life. Everyone who knew you always learned something and grew to be better from that. Your feistiness and straighfowardness were your greatest attributes. For that I give to you these sled dogs. Symbolic of you in many ways. They are strong and fearless as you were. They face the cold elements and horrid weather such as you did in life. Yet they strive onward relentlessly bringing others to safer places as you did for us. These dogs are strong and will guide you to your destination. After you learn from all they will teach you, you will eventually guide us all to where you will be. For now you leave behind your greatest gift, your daughter, Dawn. May we all become better people from knowig you in our lifetime. Your loving brother Joe

Our Dearest Diane,
We still can't believe you are gone. You are and will always be deeply missed. We had a blast being your friend and co-worker. Your bluntness was one of your greatest attributes and made us laugh always. We feel honored that you felt close to us and would call on us during your times of need. We admired you for all your strength and determination and the positive attitude you kept during your illness. We will always remember laughing together, crying together, shaving your head, grocery shopping and just hanging out. Our only wish is that we had more time with you. Try not to get into any trouble up there. We will see you again and go on that vacation we always talked about.
Love Always

Dawn, my friend, you are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. The world was truly blessed to have had Diane here, she was a beautiful person inside and out. Now she starts and new journey and we are so lucky to have her looking down on us. Twenty years later I can still hear her say, "Dawn, did you turn off the curling iron?? I don't want the house to burn down!" She was the best and really knew how to light up a room. She will be deeply missed. Take care,

To My Beloved Mother,
May you always have the peace, health and happiness you so much deserve.
You fought a hard battle with a terrible disease and in the process never lost your determination, drive or spirit. I learned a lot from you over the years but the greatest gift you passed onto me was your strength. I only hope to pass that on to my own children someday and let them know what a wonderful woman their Grandma Diane was.
I will miss you everyday.
Love always,
Dawn
