Diane served as room mom for my class when I taught David and then later Jennifer in Kindergarten at Canton Elementary in Canton, GA in the mid to late 1980's. I remember her positive spirit and dedication to all the children. David and Jennifer, cherish the sweet memories of your mom......she will forever live in your hearts.

I went to grade school and high school with Diane in Charlton, Mass. She was a terrific person and friend even way back then. When I heard the sad news, I took out my 1971 high school yearbook - next to Diane's picture is her name and personal quote which reads, "Life is just too short". I am sure she will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
