Mary and Family:
Words cannot express how sorry I am. Diane and I had not known each other long, but she rapidly established a firm hold on my heart and claimed a piece of it as her own. I ache at the loss of her smile, her wonderful sense of humor and her tremendous wisdom. I cannot imagine the depth of loss all of you, as her family, must feel. Mary, if there is anything I can do at anytime, know that I am here for you. Sincerely and with heartfelt sympathy, Terri Young, PAAM

Dearest Bill and Family, Edward and I send our deepest and sincere sympathy to you. We are so happy that we were able to see your new home and wine and dine with you and Diane and the Bolands (le chef) before we moved to Naples. We remember what a fun night we all had together.
Not only have you helped me over the many years, but the famous transfer league parties bring a smile to my face and I hope yours during this difficult time.
Though time was short, Edward ...

MARY AND FAMILY,
I'M SHOCKED TO HEAR OF DIANE'S PASSING. HAVING JUST MET HER AT THE TRAINING SEMINAR, I FELT WE HAD STARTED A FRIENDSHIP--WE HAD SO MUCH IN COMMON. SHE WAS FUNNY AND SMART AND CHEERFUL. SHE MADE YOU FEEL GOOD JUST BEING AROUND HER AND I KNOW THOUGHTS OF HER WILL BRING JOY TO ALL WHO KNEW HER. SHE MADE A DIFFERENCE.

Diane's light will be missed. She was such a bright spirit, filled with joy and energy. We had great times working together at the YWCA Domestic Crisis Center. Diane was creative and filled with incredible ideas and enthusiasm.
My condolences to Bill and family members.

Hey Bill, I can't express how I feel about your loss. As you know I have a few losses of my own, and I must tell you time well help you heal. Diane was an idol of mine since I was a little boy. She always paying attention to me when all the other girls that were my sisters age were ignoring me. (you must understand it was high school stuff) So sorry to here that you lost such a great friend and a life love. Life is very fragile, and I must tell you that I know that from the heart. I...
