Diane was my Godmother. My mom and I always ran into Diane at Fort Hale Park, we all sat together enjoying the water, beautiful sunsets, she had her certain spot under a shaded tree where we all sat.
Diane was a great animal lover she loved to help the animals at the East Haven Animal Shelter. She also loved my dog Cheech and bought him many treats. Diane will be missed by all. She is now an angel in heaven watching over family and friends here on earth.
RIP Dee. You will always be remembered and will be with those who love you in spirit.

Dee and I are second cousins, but were more like sisters. We were like two peas in a pod. We traveled together and spent many days at Fort Hale Park just keeping cool sitting by the water. We watched many beautiful sunsets and sat with friends we had met at the park. Dee will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She is now an angel watching over her family here on earth. Rest in peace Dee, you wil always be remembered in my prayers.

Condolences to the Nargi family. Diane and I used to work together at Aetna in the 1960's, and we corresponded with holiday cards every year. I am so saddened.

I'm so sorry to hear of Diane's passing, I graduated with her from St. Mary's High School. She was always a very sweet person, and we palled around with each other now and then while we were both in school.
My condolences to her family and my prayers for the repose of her soul.

To the Nargi Family-

I was shocked when I saw this in the New Haven Register. I am very sorry for your loss. I went to St. Louis School with Diane and used to bump into her once a year at the Coast Guard open house on Woodward Ave. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this trying time.
