Dan and Allison I am so very sorry. Diane had such a smile and was such a special person. I can't even imagine what life will be without her. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dan - I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved wife. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time of sadness.

I am happy that we stayed in contact during our adult lives, through our mutual nursing profession and Middletown High School class of '69 reunion planning meetings. She will be missed.

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Diane. She was one of the first, if not the first, classmate to befriend me when I came to McDonough School in Middletown in 1962. She was always so kind and friendly to everyone. I'm happy to say that we stayed in contact throughout our adult lives, through our mutual professions and Middletown High class of '69 reunion planning meetings. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Dan, Allison and the family. God bless.

I have memories of Diane that go back to kindergarten at MacDonough School, Central School, Middletown High and growing up in the north end. I will always remember Diane's smile, her sweetness, gentleness and kindness toward everyone. My deepest sympathy to Diane's family may you find comfort in your memories.

Know that the thoughts and prayers of all of us from MHS Class of '69 are with Diane's family.

I too have memories as Sally did of our walks to those early days at Macdonaugh school. Far too many years have passed but your memories will remain with your loved ones. Rest in peace, the girl who was born just several days after I was, in the same Middlesex Hospital ward down the hall.

I am so sorry to hear about Diane. My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband, daughter, family and friends.
I remember her so well from our childhood school days at McDonough School through Middletown High. I will always remember her as being kind, and a beautiful woman inside and out. I can remember her laughter. I have to believe that God has a plan for her in taking her so young and can only hope some day we see each other again. My deepest sympathy.
