Jennifer and Susan - I think of you both often and of what a great loss Diane's passing has been for you. I hope you are moving forward in your lives, carrying her love with you, as of course she would have wanted. Please reach out to me anytime at [email protected]

Dear Susan, here it is a year later and I am just finding out that my friend is now a heavenly Angel. I am so very sorry for your profound loss. My love to you and Diane´s brothers Kathy Brann, Vermont

I met Diane in 1977 through Movement for a New Society and the Clamshell Alliance, and we became instant friends. I haven't had contact with her for all of these years and just Googled her out of curiosity. I am so saddened to learn about her death. I can still remember her passion and her fierceness for all things good and beautiful. I will miss Diane.

We are shocked to read of Diane's passing! We were Facebook friends for years and eventually met up with her and Susan Elkin in USA in 2016. We will always remember her love and kindness. May she rest in Peace . With love from Steve and Helen Broekmann - Cape Town, South Africa

I am so sad to learn of Diane's passing. By chance I was in the Pioneer Valley mid- July and trying to contact her to stop by. Little did I suspect this was the moment of her passing. I loved her so much and learned so much from her. Much love to you all in your loss.

I only learned of Diane's passing today, so sad that much time passed since we were last together. She was such a guiding force in my life, encouraging me to share my art, to take part in the community effort to help other artists display their work. Her influence brought me to a new creative space I had long forgotten. I am so sad to think I will not see her again, but her memory will stay with me forever. My condolences to Susan and her family. Much love to you all.

My condolences to Diane's family. I knew her through her colourful and fun art online.

Sending you Diane-like hugs and love, Jennifer, Susan, Margie, and those in Diane's near orbit from recent times. And I stand arm in arm with the many people, like me, who were close to her at one time or another in our lives. I know the circle does feel broken now with her passing, but she would not have wanted us to let that happen for long. She would be the first to re-arrange the chairs and pull us all together in caring and community again. Diane's empathy and understanding were...

Susan and Jennifer and the legions of friends/family in Diane's World -- Wishing all peace and comfort knowing how much peace and comfort Diane offered. May we heed her bequest. She walked her talked and breathed it as well. Diane was one of the first people I met when I moved to town 45 years ago. I clearly remember that meeting in her beautiful, comfortable home. Her soft voice and strong gentleness. Thank you for sharing her.
