Uncle Roger and family,
It is with great sadness that I just found out about Dianne's sudden death. Although we had not seen much of each other in the last few years, we will always remember her for her generosity, her heart full of love and her unforgettable laughter. Dianne always shared her special love she had for her nieces and nephews and for those who shared their faith with her. She will be truly missed.

Uncle Roger and family. We were so saddened to hear the news of Dianne's passing. She always had the biggest heart and biggest smile. We regret that we were unable to be at her memorial to say goodbye to a beautiful person so we did so in ours hearts. We will all join again one day. Heaven did indeed receive another angel from our family.

I knew Dianne over a span of many years. We were volunteers in the Agape Force, roommates in Calgary, and team members in a Christian group ministering in various Alberta venues. Dianne generously shared her prodigious array of gifts with others: vocalist, lay counsellor, chef, artist, and craftswoman. She was diligent. She was bubbly and giggly! Dianne also had a deep, contemplative side to her, and her Lord was her Rock. I'm grateful for our time together. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Till we meet again friend.

My condolences to the Therrien family. I had the privilege of meeting Dianne through Roxy Bell. The very first time we met we spent a weekend together at a ladies retreat at Teen TIme. We had so many laughs together. What a fantastic time. The last time I had a chance to see her was when Roxy,Dianne and I spent a week in Las Vegas this past February. While Roxy went to her conference Dianne and I spent countless hours touring around Vegas, the Grand Canyon & Red Rock Canyon. We made wonderful memories together. And of course we had many good laughs together that week. But the one thing we don't want to fail to mention is her love for Jesus. I'm thankful she is able to with our Lord and Saviour but sad that we won't see her here anymore. See you again Dianne.

I knew Diane when she lived in Calgary. She loved music and singing. She was involved with our musical team and volunteered in prison ministry for many years. Diane's found her greates reward when she was able to help others. She had a huge heart of love for all she met. Diane now rejoices with her Heavenly Father. We love you Diane.

To Dianne's family & friends
Cannot find the words to express our feelings at her much to sudden departure. She just spent 10 days with us at our summer home and what an amazing time we had quilting, playing cards and eating, all the while relaxing and laughing. My neighbours still speak of her amazing cinnamon buns she made And shared with all my neighbours. That kind, generous, loving, and so dedicated heart was silenced much too soon. Enjoy your time in heaven that you so deserve. Miss you to the moon and back my friend. Love & hugs, the DeChamplains from St Paul

Dear Roger and family.
So sorry to hear that Dianne has left this physical world, but I so look forward to seeing her again. Always a very giving person, from her baking hundreds of cinnamon buns for FGBI students, to visiting young offenders in prison, to her homemade Christmas gifts. Such a bright and faithful light for the Lord. We kept in touch over the years and last met in Montreal with her father on one of their family reunion treks. She had not changed a bit! I will miss her.
My condolences to her family and loved ones.

Dear Uncle Roger and family.... I am so very sorry to hear of Dianne's passing. Although we had not seen much of each other over the years, I'll never forget her kind gesture of inviting me to stay with her when i went to Edmonton a couple of years ago for the Little Warriors training. She had such a generous spirit and indeed a beautiful smile. I will treasure that memory of spending time with her. I pray God's peace and comfort in your time of sorrow and like many others... I believe I will one day see her again. My deepest condolences to you all!
