I knew Diane during her early musical achievements in the early 1960's. She was a very talented and beautiful person. My condolences to her family and many friends.

So sorry to hear about Diane's death. I enjoyed hearing her recording of "Please Don't Talk To The Lifeguard" on WQOK in Greenville, SC. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family.

She was a beautiful person and loved her family. She loved her grandson Hunter Waldrop and loved showing pictures of him. She was a good wife and Mother, who enjoyed cooking a good meal for family. Her faith in God helped her during these last months and my family will miss her terribly.
