dear bayliss,
I hope you remember me. I worked with Diane through Va. Properties about 15 years ago when i was doing consulting with Carolyn and the relo dept. You and I actually talked at one time when you were going through the career transition with the dairy business. I had no idea Diane had been ill and am so sorry that i am just learning about this. I hope you are fine and that you are surrounded by the love of friends and your son. God Bless

Bayliss, We were so saddened by the news of Diane's passing. The world will be a little less bright without her in it. She was so much more to us than our 'real estate lady'. She was very much our friend as well. We shared many long talks about family as well as many laughs. What a lucky lady to have you by her side before and after these recent difficult months. The love you two shared was very special and I hope it will give you the peace and serenity that you deserve at this difficult time. I hope you know that we would have been at Diane's Memorial Service if we hadn't been out of the country. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you as they have for many many months. May God be with you and all of the family.

Bayliss, I was sorry to learn about Diane and wanted to extend to you my deepest sympathy. We have known each other for over 40 years with much joy in our lives. Diane was a wonderful wife, mother and a gifted person in our real estate community. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her and she will be free from all pain and suffering.

Mrs. Westerhouse, While you have only been in our family a short period of time, it seems you have been a part of us much longer. Please know your family here at The Brightwater waits with open hearts and arms to welcome you back. We love you very much. As always, Barry Green and the concierge staff

Dear Bayliss and family:
My prayers are with you at this time of loss. Diane was such a perfect lady and a wonderful real estate agent; she will be greatly missed. I have kept your family and Diane in my prayers throughout this difficult time of her illness and have often reflected on the good times we shared when working together at Virgnia Properties. I always admired Diane's humor, intelligence and compassion. I will never forget how heartbroken she was when Princess Diana died. Now, those of us who knew Diane, are heartbroken to lose her. I hope in time that your happy memories will replace the sadness you feel today. May God comfort you now and forever.

Although I have not seen Diane for years, I remember fondly our times growing up together on Marilea Road! She was a dear childhood friend and we would laugh together uproariously.
My heartfelt sympathies to Gwen and the entire family.

My prayers and sympathies go out to Bayliss and all the family. But Diane's "other family", the Realtors of Richmond, have also lost a dear soul. I was honored and privileged to have known and "competed" with Diane for decades, and her honesty.charm, dedication, and good humor will long be remembered. She was a grand lady.
October 29, 2009
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Diane was our co-worker many years ago at the Westwood Club. We had many fun times with her. She had such a wonderful smile and her laugh cannot be forgotten to this day. She always talked of her family and her love for them was evident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very difficult time. Phyliss Underwood and Geri Miles Greenjack

Dear Family, It is so sad to lose Diane. I can't believe that we will never hear that wonderful, infectious laugh again or see that mischievous twinkle in her eye. I don't know who I am going to get the latest Richmond gossip from. I am glad her struggle is over. Thanks, Diane, for all the great memories and I will always cherish them. I am sorry that my husband and I are in the middle of the country and probably won't make it back by Friday, but our thoughts are with all of you.
love, Keithley

Dear Donna and family,
Please know that you all have been in my thoughts over these past months. I remember from high school, Diane was such a vibrant person; always laughing and smiling. Donna, keep those "big sister" memories close to your heart and think of them often. Laugh out loud when others are quiet and cry big tears when you need to...that is what memories are for. Enjoy them.

Bayliss,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. You have been a devoted
husband and friend to Diane. Diane was very special to me as
she was my mentor when I moved from Georgia to Richmond and
I'll never forget her patience and kindness she extended to me.
The real estate field has lost a great person and she will always be
remembered.

Diane was a champion. I know she faught the major fight of anyone's life time. With dignity, she knew her destiny and never stop trying to communicate. Deepest reqards to the family that loved and rallied around her. Her sincere heart, smile and bright eyes will be missed, but we all know that she is in a much better place now.

We will all miss her, and have so many "smiling & happy memories". Heaven will definitely be uplifted now with her company. My sympathies for the family, and my gratitude to Diane for times she spent with us. May God bring you comfort and serenity in this difficult period.

I can't tell you all the wonderful memories I have from sharing an office with Diane when I worked with her at Va. Properties. She was and will continue to be one of the the best friends anyone could have. She was always there for you and will truly be missed by everyone who knew her.
