I was so sadden to hear of Diane's passing. I found out just yesterday when I worked with Good Happenings a few of the participants were talking about it. Sorry I missed her funeral. I always enjoyed seeing her in some of our ARLE programs. She always had such a pretty smile. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time.

My times with Diane were joyous memories of a happy little girl who loved dollies and building sandcastles and laughing in swimming pools and picking sand dollars off warm sunny beaches. Diane gave me experience in possibilities for our daughter Elizabeth - she put sunshine and hope into her days - and because of my time with your family and her part in my life our family-centered person-centered advocacy for others with limited voices has continued to broaden. Thank you Simon's family for sharing your lives with me.

Dear Diane's,
Before I heard about Diane's passing, she was in my thoughts. I wanted to send her a copy of a silly story we had written at Creekside. She helped write it and I can hear her laugh as we read it out loud. What a great laugh! She frequently talked about her mom, whom she loved very much and missed greatly. She, also, talked and showed pictures of her family. The closeness and love was obvious. What a loss for your family. I am grateful to have met Diane. You will be in my prayers.
warmly,
Merrilee Olson Jones

Uncle Nick and Family:
I wish we could be there to honor Diane's memory, but we are unable to. I will always remember Diane's quiet presence, and also her sense of humor at family gatherings. She would always surprise me with what she could come up with. Take care, you are in our thoughts!
