Diane was a wonderful wife, and mother of to beautiful girls and my best friend for many years. She was always helping others who needed her. Words can not express the sadness of your lost. Diane was so proud of her daughters and talked about them all the time. We will miss her deeply.
With all my love to Rick, Marianna and Erick.

So deeply sorry for your loss of a beautiful wife and mother, my sister Nicole and her were best friends all through their school years growing up in Wakefield, MA and even after that they still remained close, as Nicole's younger sister I remember Diane very well with her beautiful smile and those gorgeous blue eyes. I haven't seen her in years, so I will keep her in memory as I last saw her. She also was a good friend to my brother Lee who past away a few months back. I met her daughters when they were young, now they are grown. I know you and your family will miss her very much as well as all of us. May all the happy memories you and your daughters had with Diane stay in your hearts.

With Deepest Sympathy

We met Diane many years ago for a brief period of time. But over the years we often heard Carol and Art speak of Diane, Marianna and Erica and the many joys of your life together.

May that joy bring you and the girls some measure of comfort.

Our thoughts are with you,

David and Joyce Maynard
