Aunt Dianne. What a blessing she was to the Blackburn family. She always was so optimistic, buoyant, thoughtful, and loving. To John, Shelley, Tom and Todd and your families, we know your loss runs deep. We were very fortunate to have been able to talk with Aunt Dianne not long before she passed. Even with her health problems she was more concerned about her relatives hundreds of miles away. She was so proud of you, her children and your families. We know you will be carrying on her legacy. Aunt Dianne and Uncle Jim were the best, and now together again. Love to you all.

My grandmother was a great person and was a friend to anyone she met. I have a lot of memories of her (and my grandfather as well). All throughout my life she was always there for me. I miss talking with her and just her in general.
