Not sure what to say?

Mike, We were sorry to learn of Diane’s passing. We cherish the many memories made on those wonderful travels we shared together. May the grace our lord and savior give you comfort and peace. We are in Florida but our prayers are with you today!

I just want to give my sympathy to Mike with the loss of Diane. She was always at the desk when I made my annual trip to take care of taxes. I enjoyed learning about the Freedom Force and seeing pictures of their latest trips after the "tax work" was done.

Dianne was a large part of my life for a dozen or so years, a big sister, you could say. Ultimately serving as my matron of honor at our wedding nearly 45 years ago. I mourn her loss with you today.

We so much enjoyed visiting with Dianne in Mike's tax office. Her amazing photography displayed was like looking a National Geographic gallery. Mike, you were fortunate to have so many great travel adventures together leaving a plethora of memories. Rich & I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you as well as your families.

We met Diane and Mike when our tax accountant sold his business to them.
It was always great to see them every February for the unpleasant task of TAXES“!!!
Enjoyed our visits with both of them, especially hearing about their latest exotic travels.
So sorry for your loss Mike. We know Diane brought out the best in you!!

So sorry to see passing of Diane. I would enjoy visiting with Diane & admiring her photo's of memories of their worldly trips! Plus the treats she always had to enjoy !
I was a customer at their tax service business they had at one time, also while working at Rockwell Collins.

Michael. What do I say to you to make this feel better !! I know Dianne worried about you after she left us !! Just remember all the good times you had together and the friends you met along the way.
