Diane's Family,
Your mom was an angel on earth. She took care of my mom in the nursing home where all the patients loved her.
Then upon joining the Knitwits,there she was crocheting for the homeless and
making hats for the newborns. She talked proudly of her family and grandchildren. This dedicated women has left behind memories to many of how to be an angel of or Lord. I will miss you.
Hazel ORourke.

Lynn and Kevin,
My thoughts and prayer are with you during this difficult time. My mother, Emily was Diane's cousin. I remember my Mom and Diane would dance in front of the TV when American Bandstand was on. I had vivid memories of those times. From everything I hear she was a wonderful Daughter and a great mother.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
