Mrs Diehl was one of my instructors at Allentown School of Cosmetology, and I enjoyed her. She was dedicated to teaching you the benefit of her education and knowledge, and was very well respected. Fly with the angels, Mrs. Diehl.

To the Diehl family, Your mother was my cosmetology instructor at The Allentown school of cosmetology, I graduated the class of 1987 she was my inspiration as a teacher. I've had my own salon for 30 yrs and became an instructor as well, I would always talk about her and share my knowledge with them as she did with us, I became just like her. Tough on the outside, soft on the inside.
She was a wonderful person I admired and respected.
I will forever be greatful to have been her student.
My sincere sympathy to your family,
Justine Bower
