Dearest Mike and Michelle, I just heard that Diana passed away, I live part time in Colorado and was there when she died. She, along with the two of you were my extra family and filled so many difficult and wonderful times! I hold those memories as treasures and you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Mike and Michelle,
We're sorry to hear of Diana's passing. Although we did not get to know her well we were fortunate enough to have purchased your former home on Santa Margarita Road. She would be happy knowing that we are continuing to maintain the "home for wayward cats and horses". You have our deepest sympathy in your loss. Dave, Terry and Holly Selstad

Diana was a warm and loving woman - everyone who walked through her front door felt welcome and comfortable. She will be missed.

Mike and Michelle,
We're so very sorry to read about your loss. We had no idea Diana was so ill, as we haven't seen or heard from you in so long. We thought you moved away after you retired. We will always remember Diana's smile and also when we first met you and Diana, back in 1968, with your pet cat, I believe on your first day in SLO. Again, we're so sorry. The Vanlerberghe's Connie, Danny and Joan. Atascadero

Mike and Michelle,
Thinking of you at this time. I am so sorry for your loss. We had so many good times together at horse shows throughout California: blue ribbons, yellow ribbons, no ribbons, lunch out, grooming horses and getting ready to compete. Diana certainly loved her family and her horses. She was such a nice friend, competitor and horse show mom! She will be missed.

Mike and Michelle, I was so sorry to hear about Diana. I still remember her love of horse's. She was a great lady. Know that our prayers are with all of you.Nick & Annette Yost, Santa Margarita

I am truly sorry for your loss Michelle and Mike. You probably don't remember me but we lived on the same dirt road in Lockwood. Michelle use to play with my little sister, Michelle. After our mom passed away (my Michelle was only 10), she went down to your house and asked Diana if she would be her mom. Again, I am very sorry for your loss. Kim (Despain) Fleetwood and Family, Colorado
