Dianne was a cherished friend and one of my best 1:1 aides in my classroom. I could only hope that we all learn from the way she lived; with true compassion, kindness and finding no fault in others. I am one of the fortunate few to have had the opportunity to have her in my life.

Dianne was a year ahead of me in high school. I remember her as one of the kindest,sweetest people I've ever met. Those who were fortunate enough to have had Dianne touch their lives could not forget her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
