Diana - my earliest memories of you are your laugh, the shake of your gorgeous hair - always a kind heart. Miss you -

Diana, you will be missed by so many. I am so thankful that I had a chance to know you. I loved how your smile would brighten up a room, how your laugh was so sincere and infectious. You have touched the lives of so many children and because of you, there are so many children and adults who love to read because you have introduced them to a good book. Thank you for giving me so many wonderful memories. Love, Laura Macy

Diana, I was once your honored secret pal at Gault one year. You will be missed by so many as you touched the hearts and souls of teachers, parents and children alike! Go with God. The world has lost such a good heart and resource! Love Leslie Hayes, APE Specialist

Diana, I think of you every time I read out loud - remembering being captivated your rich voice reading Chester's Way or The Talking Eggs. Thank you for so many warm hugs and welcoming us into your library with humor and acceptance.
You will be remembered dearly by all of us Gault kids.

with so much love,

How many thousands of hearts you have touched through your love of life, words, children and humanity. Your smile will made everyone feel like you were giving them a hug. Our lives have been made better just to know your gentle grace and hearty laughter. Your life's light will live in all our memories. We cherish your gifts.

Diana, you are the model of what a true friend should be. I will miss that very much.

Diana, I will always cherish our many long talks, sharing our thoughts and feelings about everything under the sun. I miss you.

A lovely person. I will miss you indeed.

Dear Diana: What a huge empty space in our lives and hearts now that you've gone. Thank you for being the most wonderful colleague and friend for so many years.
