Dianne and I became close friends when I started working at Citizens Bank shortly after we moved out here and maintained a close friendship throughout the years, talking often. She was truly one of the nicest people around. Rest in peace, my friend. I will miss you.

May God rest her soul! Dianne was one of the kindest souls. She was faithful, compassionate and had a wonderful sense of humor. I'll always remember her fondly as my First Holy Communion catechist. Because of her faith-filled spirit, I later asked her to be my Confirmation sponsor and enjoyed keeping in touch through cards and letters over the years. Quite simply, she was a lovely person. Thank You Lord for blessing the world with this beautiful lady. "Bye-Now" to you, Dianne.

Dianne's family were neighbors of my family when we all lived in Elmoville in the late 40's and 50's. My family moved from Elmoville in 1956 but maintained a frienddhio with Dianne and her family. She was friendly and had an infectious smile.
My sympathy to her relatives.
