Dianne was a very special person in her own way. She was always trying to make somebody else feel good. Now she is feeling great and is in no more pain. She is with her Lord and will be missed by all. My prayers go out to you and the family. May God comfort you all and give you strength to go through your loss.

Dianne was my best friend. I will miss her very much. If I needed someone to talk to she was always there to listen to me. You will be missed and I will always remember you and think of you. Kim and Carla you are in my thoughts and prayers.
