Diana was one of a kind. She was KIND itself.
I can hear her laugh now. Oh, and that laugh was one of a kind.
She made the best neighborhood Mom, ever.
She’ll never be forgotten.
Hope all is well with you, Montie.

Diana was a loving, fun and dedicated wife, mom and friend to all. She always shed a ray of sunshine to my day and bestowed her love of life on all, especially her daughter Kim. I miss her laughing sunshine!

My condolences to the entire Gulseth family, and all the other people she touched. I'm privileged to say that I was one one of them.
Meeting her briefly or knowing her for a long time, did not change her consistent goodness.
Kimmie, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Diana was my godmother, she always remembered me and was probably one of the nicest people I have ever known. She is at peace and has left a wonderful legacy from the life she lived. She was truly an amazing person.

Monte, Kim and family,
Wow! What your family has always done for each other, and how you would celebrate being with Diana at the restaurant, will stay with the entire staff at Margarita's for a very, very long time. We'll miss her. Sid, Davis, Alyssa, Matt and the entire crew at Marg's. Wonderful to know her!

Kim, you have been a special friend to me and my family for years. There were so many good laughs whenever you and daughter Lisa were together. Your touched our lives with your constant good cheer and positive attitude about life!
We were so grateful to know your Mom and Dad had your constant presence, support and love.
I wish I were there to give everyone a hug and to reassure you and all that they did so much to make Mom's life happy. That in itself if a reflection of the goodness your parents instilled in you. What a blessing.
Know that she truly joyfully rests in God's arms.
Love and prayers, always.
Pat Mikulsky and family
